Raped

Everything, stolen from her Every last defense, vanished inside of her She screams and moans into the rag But nothing she shrieks can escape the gag He pinned her down to the wall He held her there, and took it all She knew her innocence would never last But she never thought she would lose it so fast Her sweat-streaked body slid backwards and forwards He pushed her and slammed her against the boards The end drew near, and she writhed in pain Her tainted body dropped to the ground in shame Tears twist and wrench themselves from her eyes Back home and tired, she wishes she had died She was beaten and used, left alone, raped She feels unlucky, though she escaped Now suicide never removes itself from her brain The feeling of inadequacy drives her insane Nobody knows, and nobody cares It always seems like no one is there She wants relief, but it never comes She’s stuck down inside her private slums She was abused and attacked by someone she held dear She was mistreated and raped, now she’s no longer here 4/12/05
