And I had Evidence

[LostInnocence]

I hold on to another secret;
A secret that the entire family knew.
I was left in the dark.
Only to discover on my own that this STD
Couldn’t be cured.

I had my one piece of evidence
That could land you in jail.
For once I had power,
Over you…my rapist.

For once I could smile
And know that I caught you.
But too scared to tell;
Not of you but a story of dignity.
Of wondering how much of my life
I wanted exposed for all to see.

But, oh, the joy was enough for me.
I finally moved on and for once
Was truly loved
By a man who didn’t turn me away,
Despite my STD.

The countless nights I stayed up and cried.
Holding the hand of the man I loved.
I watched him sleep as I thought
Of bringing you to court
And having doctors say over and over
That you were finally caught
The STD proves it…you’re mine now.

But my boyfriend convinced me
That I would regret.
Telling everyone I was “sick”
And I would be shunned and in the end hurt.

I walked away and I let you walk away as well.
Consider it an acceptance of your horrible deed.
Spreading an incurable STD.

I honestly wish that the courts would let someone try somebody for rape, no matter how long ago it happened, if it can be proved [which it 9 out of 10 times can be] it should be allowed to be taken to court and his ass should be in jail, learning well what you went through when a big guy named Bubbha shows him what it's like in his jail cell. It's really fucked up and you should be allowed to put him on trial for it.

It pains me to write.
THat our government is screwed up.
In what way is this free?
For rape to take part of your dignity.
Then you get stuck with a un-curable disease.
I truely feel for you.
I wish their was more I could do then wish you luck and love.
It pains me to write...
That there are still people like that out there.
Who dont care if they ruin your life.
I pray that no body like that ever has a peaceful sleep at night.
Good luck- I'm glad you still found some light.

This was a great write...
I know how it is, I to am told not to tell, to keep my sinful secret....but when I finally told it, to help another get her justice, no one believed me, they thought I was lying....so who knows if you should have, or if you did right by not telling....I dont really know....
All I know for sure, is that my heart goes out to you....
