I never saw
the enemy there
hiding in plain view.
Blinded by
my innocence
believing that no evil
could be staring me in the face.

I never saw
the warning signs
rushing straight ahead.
The fool I am
demanded I
take the road unknown
without considering the risk.

I never saw
how easily I
could be led by another's will.
Too weak in body
too weak in mind
I had no strength
to escape the fate upon me.

I never saw
the broken pieces
of my soul fall to the ground.
I sowed my own
I reaped my own
this bitter harvest
made purity into poison.

I never saw
the scream that echoed
or the tears that stained.
I tried to wash
away my sin
with crystal water
and foulest bile.

I never saw
the kindness offered
I accepted no helping hand.
Touches burned me
drove me mad
I cried to be
untouched again...

I never saw
the truth I heard
coming on tender voices.
Fear was ruling
every action
along with rage
and hate and doubt.

I never saw
where I ran
trying to escape cruel gods.
Forest trees
valleys low
I walked under the sun
too numb to even seek death.

I never saw
until too late
when time reached its peak.
In the shadow
of nature's cloak
my blood heralded
the arrival of something new and old.

I never saw
such fragile whiteness
cradling a precious jewel.
A timid beating
a fleeting warmth
with a whimper come and gone
a breeze that visited only once.

I never saw
day turn into night
or the endurance of life around.
Tears flowed
rocking gently
because I never saw
baby's eyes.....
