Poetry: Rape trauma

by Mandy Dalton

Created on: June 02, 2009

NO LONGER PURE

Your eyes catch the light as you reach for my face

Like a schoolgirl's first crush, I feel my heart race

I lean in toward you and lower my eyes

Forgetting that life is just so full of lies

Your soft lips part mine with so much affection

But when you press forward I state my objection

From this point forward there is no tenderness

You grip my legs tight and push up my dress

Your fingers are digging deep into my breast

My chances of fleeing are quite slim at best

Despite how I struggle, despite how I fight

All my defences make your madness ignite

All has changed swiftly as this evening turned bleak

My cries only answered by strikes on the cheek

You penerate deeply, the pain is intense

Your breath feels like fire, your presence immense

Your movements now rapid, you're panting so fast

My singular thought is...How long will this last

Your body goes rigid, you let out a grunt

You unleash one final blow my head takes its brunt

Your conquest now over, you cast me aside

I'm fearful and shameful, my soul has just died

I gather my clothing and slink out the door

As I'm creeping away, blood drips on the floor

I'm bruised and I'm broken, and wondering why

I thought that I knew him, I silently cry

I rush home in silence, my secret secure

But I'll no longer trust, of that I am sure
