Poetry: Rape trauma

by AuthorsLegacy

Created on: March 04, 2011

Blood pouring from my body

The blade making it's way across my skin

Your hands imprinted upon my throat

Eyes tightly closed

Fists clenching the ground beneath me

Fear escalating to terror

A moment of death avoided

Rescued by a stranger

My unconscious body taken to safety

Innocence lost

Life destroyed

As the blood poured 

The bruises have long been gone

Physical scars have healed

What remains is knowing

Is feeling

The blade upon my skin
