Darkness falls, and i freeze
they lurk in mystery
hidden by shadows
my heartbeat quickens
i exhale in a rush of fear
raspy breathing fills the room
and in horror i realize it is my own
searching wildly for escape
i find there is none
their slow advance frightens me
nearly to death
i struggle but it is useless
the harsh violation brings unimaginable pain
all i can do is lay numb
my mind and body frozen in terror
a wish for death floats through my fogged mind
but it will not come
this i already know
to you i am an object
something to prove your power over
you use me then leave to live your life
does it make you feel like a big man?
does it make you happy to know you have the power to hurt?
i will remember you in nightmares
i will forever imagine your face
in the faces of strangers
i will flinch from now on when touched
yes,
you have proved your power
i am helpless to avoid these feelings
though my body lives on
my heart and soul exist only in numbness
My innocence is dead.
