Better Left Unsaid

Better Left Unsaid

A little girl has been molested.
She places secret on a shelf.
For though she’s very small in stature,
knows some things best kept to herself.

If she would speak, would they believe her?
Or would it start a family war?
Although she hides this darkest shadow,
still looks for brighter days in store.

This little girl blossoms to woman
yet still remembers very well,
of how in past her trust was stolen.
When will it be her time to tell?

Some day will fate bring them together?
Molester shares the blood of kin.
Will woman then stand tall before him?
Reveal her scars from guarded sin?

At present time lays secret dormant.
Resting for years on shrouded bed.
The child within still ponders question,
Are some things better left unsaid?
