The preacher’s daughter
Quasi perfection
Like a Marlon Brando movie
Something forbidden
A short ride
Ten miles out
He rode away
Leaving Chloe there-hurting,scared and ashamed
The product of unspoken pain
No money to feed another
Chloe wished to die
Tainted child-product of an evil act
Was Chloe a monster?
Her bottomless grief-a maelstrom of darkness
The pages fell shut
What time was it?
Time to go back
No more family secrets.
