Last Night

One of the four pushed me back,
And there I fell on the ground,
No support for me to stand,
My heart began to pound.

They clutched my hands,
And tied it tight,
I began to kick, and run,
But just a slap ended that fight.

Tears filled my eyes,
as I was stripped one by one.
They were going to ruin my life,
Just for an hour’s fun.

Only lust was all that I could see,
in the eyes of those beasts.
Laughing and making fun of me,
so happy to get their feast.

God save me from these wild dogs,
I can’t take this pain any more,
It hurts a lot dear lord,
Why are you punishing me like this for?

Leave me alone….
You heartless creatures,
For I am someone’s wife,
For I was to give birth to a new life.

Unconscious I laid there,
Unaware with the happenings.
The beasts enjoyed their sin,
And I was left with all the sufferings.

When I opened my eyes,
I wish it could be a nightmare,
All that I could see was injections and wounds,
and my husband and the cop standing there.

No it was not a nightmare,
My life was ruined last night,
And my eyes grew fainter,
Hearing people say” it was a frightful sight”
