Internal Screams

Without a care
he struck her soul
destroying her art as he forced himself upon her
now in the depths of darkness
she quietly cries
asking if she were the reason
was this abuse
this hate
this dreadful moment in time
her doing

How could a stranger
hate her so
how could he willfully
take what she promised her soul mate

All she could remember
was the flickering street lamp
against the midnight sky
and how fear refused her a voice
now
in the midst of echoing noise
internal screams torment her
someone yelled for a rape kit
while someone else was calling for sutures and that they could not the bleeding
she couldn’t make him stop
she couldn’t make them stop
she couldn’t make the time stop
so she suffered
quietly
while tears streamed down her face

How could a stranger
hate her so
how could he willfully
take what she promised her soul mate

He is more than a bully, he is cold and heartless! She is not the reason, it all falls on him and he will pay in the end for his despicable acts!!

Hello Mig...You have captured the rape victim so well...the self doubt and questioning, "What did I do to cause this", the reality of "how much" the rapist took, the trauma that will "forever" haunt her, the impersonal, yet necessary, medical care...All captured in this piece...Internal Screams is a good way to describe post traumatic syndrome...TYflowerforyou :heart: flowerforyou
