Night Calls
In guiltless slumber she dreams
The stillness of night is broken
Cold hands smother her screams
As reassuring words are spoken
Feeling safe she lets down her guard
His hands touch private places
Overpowered though fighting hard
Her innocence he defaces
With daylight comes the shame
That she's done something wrong
To scared to point or blame
In silence she goes along
Shadows make regular calls
As nights turn into years
She escapes through a hole in the wall
Followed by darkened fears
She takes to sleeping days
Night is not her friend
Her past is never raised
Memories are suppressed within
She goes on with her life
One day she meets a man
Soon becomes his wife
And yields to his demands
But time does not forget
Marriage is a constant reminder
It fails miserably in regret
She just can't put it behind her
an original poem by Daniel Turner
