Behind the Shower Curtain

First impressions deceive

Because evil people use them

As a grooming device,

Feasting upon the innocent.

.

Easy prey is predictable.

Zooming the room for a rare steak,

The middle stands out,

Since the cup is half-empty

And melts the taste buds.

.

Chugging beer quickly,

Never breathing,

Suffocating the sexuality

And enticing the subservient.

.

Behind the shower curtains

Are two outlines pictured front and behind,

The bedroom door is opened,

As juice stains the sheets.

.

In the dark,

Crawling and touching

As invited,

And not seeing the dominant's deception

As the subservient becomes post-traumatic –--

The stress activates the generational feeding.

.

Suspicious family members

And alert strangers,

Have no evidence,

But take a step and end the crimes.

.

The secret has always been known,

And is now shown.

Many feel numb,

But forget the pain

And disown his day.
