You Released Me From My Prison of Rape

12/04/2013 My hearts starting to unhinge And it will no longer cringe When your soft skin touches mine Even though it took some time To begin a new found trust And have someone finally touch Me in a way I don't freak out Since that night left me without My good safety anymore When he kicked down my front door And attacked me without care I was frozen with the fear After he finished his thrills I was going to get killed But for hours he just taunted Leaving me broken and haunted Alone and naked on the floor Laughing, walking out the door Days and months went slowly by With years of therapy to try And get me out of this prison This cruel rapist left me in It would always take me back To this sad, hurtful attack When a guy would start to stare All I could see was the fear That I felt way down inside That would open up so wide If someone new would come close My heart turned to ice and froze No one could ever defrost The pain from years of life I lost Until you accidentally Brushed my arm and I could see No pictures of his mean face And the torture of that place All I felt was warm emotion Filling me up with no caution As I saw your eyes meet mine Helping my heart thaw to find A new life with someone who Would carefully help me through Bringing me back from the dead The past fading from my head

Sorrow inspiring poem. Rapists don't deserve life in this world. I hate to imagine if this happened to you or someone else. JM
