Faceless Name

Crouched over in the shower Last night's mascara dripping down the drain As well as her innocence being washed away Feeling she is the only one to blame Blurs of what happened  Haunted her mind Trying to block images Wishing to God she was now blind REWIND... trying to fit in at a party he took her to the side Anxious butterflies filling her stomach Oh how he lied   NO! she swore she yelled It a thousand times or was it her mind being deceitful Maybe it was whispers she couldn't decide He told her to grow up Stop crying now Biting her lip blood trickled down Her first time was robbed Of the way she dreamt it would be There was such damage Such irreversibility Each time he touched Her skin having his way She felt it was on fire  Her mind went far away Back in the shower She felt powerless and Shame Her wounds no longer showed a lifetime scar, she was a faceless name

No woman should be made to feel that her body is not her own and that she is a faceless name. Oh do I feel the pain in this piece. Heartbreaking!!
