Shadow Of A Silhouette

To most this is just a bad dream, a nightmare
But to some, it's more, it's reality
Few can talk about it, few take the dare
The rest stay in the shadows
Where they hide in their own despair
Coward does not begin your description
But you don't seem to care
It was me, I was your victim
One thing stands clear
Your actions were inhumane
Left me with reasons to fear
You left my eyes to rain
'Till they suffered a drought
Dryer than a desert itself
You're heartless without a doubt
You're a thief
Don't you forget it
You stole what was mine
Left me cold and empty
Writing blank lines
I walk a one way road
Was my destiny decided?
Was yours meant to be this?
Were these lines meant to be recited
By me who walks haunted
Tormented by the same cloud
That follows where ever I go
Seems I cant escape it
Seems I'm running too slow
You didn't just rape a body
You raped my mind, body and soul
You ripped away at the seams
Clearer than a white carpet stained with coal
Can somebody make you feel what I did?
I doubt it because you're heartless
You took away my childhood
But it doesn't matter you could careless
Nevertheless do you care what I have to say
Or the hurt that my heart endures
Each and everyday
For that morning has gone and went
But it still seems to stay
You left me scared
With dry eyes suffering a drought
You left me staring...
At a shadow... of a silhouette.

I'm was 14 I had my first kiss... I met a guy, he was 4 years older than me, he was my boyfriend, I thought I could trust him... then he took me behind a alley way and stole my innocence...

This piece is truly beautiful. The rhyming and rhythm did not once seemed forced, like countless others. The pictures you put forth convey the emotion intended flawlessly. Talent shines throughout this piece, and it's a lovely glow. Awesome job!
