Rape

On a windy day when it starts to rain 
You come out to find me, to cause me pain 
I see your face and start to cry 
And everyone seems to wonder why 
Deep inside it’s you I hate 
For what you’ve done is known as rape 
It’s also known to scar minds forever 
For all of us forget it never 
For some of us it’s a pitch-black night 
Where faces aren’t seen and there’s a fight 
Clothes ripped off a woman by a man in a coat 
A knife is drawn to a throat 
But for me a difference was made 
It wasn’t at night, and there was no blade 
It was in your room during the day 
To know your face as the devil’s portrayed 
You threw me down upon your bed 
Against the wall you slammed my head 
It didn’t matter to you, I see 
Cos all you wanted was sex from me 
You scarred my mind, but not my soul 
But thanks to you, I’ll never be whole 
You didn’t ask, you didn’t care 
You stripped me down and did it right there 
And even though I screamed out no 
On and on you seemed to go 
Eventually you thankfully stopped 
Then you lay down with the blankets atop 
Not long after you fell asleep 
I put my clothes on and began to weep
 As fast as I could I ran away 
And now I hide from pigs like you every day
