Forcing Love

Darkness falls over my face My heart surely cannot keep its pace I swear I'll never leave this place With ropes tying my limbs I thought this love was meant to last Days with him seemed to never pass With fear, my breathing goes so fast His actions on a whim My family will never know That my face, I'll never show As my tears begin to flow I see his shadow down the hall A smile seems to grace his lips Ae reaches down and grabs my hips Without warning, places the tip And with a groan begins to maul I grit my teeth before I scream I swear this pain won't end it seems I hope this is all just a dream As my insides start to tear His whole body starts to tense I wonder if I've lost all sense He lets go and his groan is intense Pulling from me with a sneer. As he leaves I begin to cry Always asking myself why I wish I could curl up and die Tied and bleeding on the bed As the blood seeps to the floor I think my life will be no more If I live, I will abhor The nightmares floating through my head Praying that I leave this shop Oh please God let him stop I wish that I had told that cop As my body starts to shake My mother's love will never reach me Daddy's words will never leave thee I close my eyes to never see With luck I will never wake.

Abuse is so damaging. Most never really find complete healing--just learn to pick up the pieces and cope. Congratulations on making it through the first round of the Poetry Soup contest with this poem. Best wishes in the finals. Karen
