look it up...

I'm scare to think,

when I'm near you,

it's what you've planned,

the things you do.

 

 

The pain you bring,

I cough in smoke,

it's listen or die,

or live in choke.

 

 

I want to scream,

I want to be free,

I'm sick of this life,

nothing to see.

 

 

Fear is my companion,

your thoughts are demented,

you are my dread,

and I feel tormented.

 

 

You sicken my heart,

and burn up my soul,

stab at my knee,

and bury in coal.

 

 

You've treated me like dirt,

like I was some ragdoll,

like I was never enough,

and I could only fall.

 

 

Hidden in the darkness,

afraid to let them know,

I was treated unfairly,

and broken up so low.

 

 

My life was a waste,

I wanted to die,

but a coward at heart,

and only to cry.

 

 

If I tell a soul,

you know you are dead,

but I don't know why,

nothing's been said.

 

 

The scars on my arms,

the cuts on my heart,

hoping for a change,

I hope we're apart.

 

 

Til the love of tomorrow,

right now you're to rape,

I'm locked in my mind,

and I'll try to escape.

The scars on my arms,

the cuts on my heart,

those are my favorite lines

You've left me speechless, and that is a first. The pain and agony, I would never be able to comprehend. My heart is with you, wishing you only the best.

Wow, excellent description of what a rape victim goes through. I should know, I've been there and I think you did a great job of capturing the emotions of what it's like to go through it and still know your rapist. Great write!

Although the theme you present is a serious matter, forgive me for saying that I enjoyed every minute of reading this. :P lol It was very deep and straight to the point. Your creative use of words kept you from using gorey imagery and, although euphemisms are a big "no-no" in writing, this poem didn't need it. You did an absolutely great job with this. Excellently written. ^^
