End of My World

Rapturistic and apocalyptic
Slowly, rhythmically I cried
The end of the world was here
I couldn't breathe, I tried


I knew you wouldn't come 
I doubted you
Like sulfuric air, it choked me 
There was nothing I could do


Pleaded, screamed, begged 
Clawed at my heart for an escape
Aching and tormented
Is there recovery after rape?
