I Have...

Anyone ever felt the pain of a woman who couldn't say no?!

I have...

Anyone ever felt the pain of a woman who's been raped before?!

I have...

There's a knock at the door...

He's there once again...

Pounding at the door, screaming "Let me in b***h"

I can't say no...

He'll break the door...

He'll want to kill me...

I open it...

There he is...

My worst enemy...

My worst fear...

Yet there's nothing I can do about it...

So many times I've walked in the dark alone

Yearning for someones touch...

Yearning for that sense of security...

Knowing you'll never let me go...

Then I wake up from what I thought was just a cold and lonely dream

To only realize...

That dream is reality...

That cold feeling isn't going away...

I spend countless nights up thinking...

How can I make this feeling stop...

I hate walking around with my arms wrapped around my body...

Scared...

Alone...

And cold...

I scream in the shower in pain...

Thinking someone won't hear me...

I sit on the bedroom floor wrapped in a towel...

Crying...

Once again alone...

No one can feel my pain...

Or hear my cries...

Has anyone ever had to walk this path before?!

I have...

Very sad poem :( but I also very meaningful and moving. I only have two suggestions, I'd recommend using the '...' after certain lines more sparingly, they can help add dramatic effect and set a more mournful tone when used more sparingly. I'd also recommend replacing the word 'dream' with 'nightmare', which is a more darker and depressing image then 'dream', which will help fit you poem's overall mood better. Besides those two suggestions everything in your poem is so good, very raw and heartfelt.
