To the little girl
in yellow dress,
who stood in front of me
in busy red bus
on a rainy evening.
I am that faceless stranger
who has scarred you
and scared you.
I want to apologize
for groping you
and denying it
and blaming it
on your innocence.
I still remember it,
the fear in your eyes,
that haunts me till day.
I deserve it
and much more.
But I’m sorry little one,
even though it can do nothing.
Oh my heart! Wow!
I cannot fathom this accountability but would love to hear it from those who abuse so many.
