Raped
She lay balled up on the floor
Tears continually streaming
The stench of his sweat lingers in the air
Glass broken,
Chair knocked over,
Lamp on floor
Hard to move
Eyes swollen
Lips bleeding
Body bruised
She remembers a yell that never reached her lips
Silence
Insides hurt
Tattered clothes stained in blood
Shame too much to bear
Innocence loss
Fear
Dirty
Sadness
Alone
She looks over as he lay dead
JUSTICE

Echo Nikki Narcotic. Like the poetic justice after the lines of suffering.

This sent me into shudders. I related deeply to this savagery. Absolutely & beautifully you have created a masterpiece of art. You showed her emotions of being conquered to becoming the conqueror. This was truly inspirational. Mad respect my friend,

You know, I hadn't read the title before I read the poem, and I immediately knew this poem was about rape. "She remembers a yell that never reached her lips" is an especially powerful line. It's like all those nightmares where you want to scream but you are choking and paralyzed. Beautiful work.

Love that ending. If only her strength she could of found in the beginning. Weak men run from strong women. Bravo poet.
