i have never felt the love of a man

i have felt innocence destroyed

i have felt consequences for my rebellion

i have felt what it means to bargain for my safety

i have felt harsh hands on my delicate skin

i have felt impatience sting me like lightning of the wildest thunderstorm

i have felt the emptiness of false " i love you's"

i have felt every emotion except joy

i have felt tongues violate my mouth without tenderness

i have felt the ground as i lay with pain on my face

i have felt the stare of a lustful eye

i have felt the pain of seeing him give all his love to someone less deserving

i have felt my heart shatter in pieces that are so small and jagged that i can't even pick them up

i have felt loneliness in my aching and tired heart

i have felt my wallet drain over someone without a price to my worth

i have felt all these terrible things

i have felt sadness and despair

i have felt too much of the dark without a beacon of light

no longer desirable in any form

and i no longer desire

a void.
