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
