Hands

Hands,
hands everywhere
whispered words and mutted threats,
taking away my innocence,

breaking me in slowly,
like a wolf,
silently closing in,
on its cornered prey,

like a sour lollie,
the after taste is more bitter,
than the inital act,

does he know what he did was wrong,
or is he more insane,
than i have become.
