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?
