The roses,
I got the thorns.
The candles,
I got burnt.
The virgin’s blood,
mine bled from the heart.
You took without asking,
to you, my no meant maybe.
You left me with a fuck you
as you spat at my disgrace.
I never said yes,
I screamed no.
It was never a challenge,
I was a girl,
you were a man.
You don’t know my name,
yet your face is inscribed in my every nightmare,
my every panic attack,
Your touch,
mutilated my being,
like a knife,
carving me from the inside.
And yet you walk free,
as I stay in the imprisonment you left me in.

~~~And yet you walk free,
as I stay in the imprisonment you left me in.
This is a “Wow.”
Imprisoned forever…., yet the abusers walk free. Ghastly. Appalling. Unacceptable.
