You Invited Him In
you laughed at the madman
cheering him on
the more vile and vulgar and vain
the more voluptuous he became
smacking your lips
and opening your door
you invited him in as
he penetrated your soul
and left you limp
empty
when you couldn’t abort
the consequences
you begged for mercy
screaming
I did not ask for this
but oh, you did!
and when your children
wonder why and how
you’ll have to tell them
