this poem is about facing the memories of an unforgivable act after many years of trying to forget

I don't remember how we met or most of the time we spent together 

But I'm sure those beautiful blue eyes will haunt me forever 

I remember the first time I gazed into those eyes of blue 

I thought I saw all that I would ever need to know 

If someone would have told me of the danger that hid behind those eyes 

I would have asked how they could tell such lies 

He seemed like the perfect guy next door 

Whose actions always left me wanting more 

It's weird how my first impression of him could be so off base 

He waited till I was comfortable with him then showed his true face 

He went from a friend I grew to trust 

To a stranger that I now fear the most 

I can't sleep without seeing him in my nightmares 

Only to wake up terrified and in tears 

Remembering the day he took all my hope 

With the unforgivable act of rape 

I buried the memories for six years thinking they would fade away 

Only to realize that they are here to stay 

Little things remind me of that day but I'm getting stronger 

I can't let his actions effect my life any longer 

What he did to me can never be forgotten 

But if I was to face him those beautiful blue eyes of his will haunt me
no longer
