Nothing Happened
She said nothing happened,
but I don't believe her.
There's a grey hollowness
in her face that tells me otherwise.
She doesn't go anywhere
alone now
and is jumpy all the time.
She hasn't said anything
about him since that night
and the last time someone asked,
she started to cry.
So no one talks about it,
and she stays trapped
in a living hell.
I am unable to rescue her
from the darkness that lingers
behind her eyes,
or the nightmares that
invade her sleep
and creep into her waking hours.
