Unsure of my life I rock
Wanting to hide in my tears
If I could just disappear
From this fear
This uncertain death
Confused stressed and dismayed
I was sure that love loved me
I believed, I trusted, I gave in
To the user who misused me
I flee to my mama's voice
She hums hushed lullabies
I'm safe knowing she's there
Secure from impending storms
I tell her of my dark clouds
Tell her of my confined fears
My tears fall unabashed
Like showers of pelting rain
I'm brought back by the
stench of his sex
His spill like rippling waves
His outburst that of a wild beast
I'm deafened by the lion's roar
Confident, spent, secure
He kisses my tear streaked face
Blow lies at my busted lip
Then fall soundly asleep
Bastard!
I can sense the pain in this poem. I hope that bastard gets what coming to him. I know one who is serving 52 years in jail. Sooner or later they get caught. Be brave my sister!
