Missing Person
Where were you
that day…..
The day
the devil put his
heavy hand on my
quivering chest…..
The day he put his
honeyed lips
to my eager mouth
……and seduced my breath
from my lungs.
Where were you
When I mistook
His murderous gaze
…….for flirtation…
I forgave myself
for my youth..
my vulnerability..
my naivety..
But where were you….
…..the day I almost died.
