To My Abuser

I think of the times
That you used my body
And turned me into
Someone other than me
Your name is forever
Etched on my skin
The scars you left 
Are deep within 
You took my whole life 
Away from me
Isolated me from friends 
And family 
You made me yours
To use as you please
You kept me close
On bended knees
Though I'm no longer with you
I still am not free
I still feel those brown eyes
Burning through me
I'm always afraid
To close my eyes
Cause I see your face
And I still hear your lies
My skin still burns
Where your fingers have been 
A reminder of the mental
Hell I live in
