Violence of the body, violation of the soul
Broken by a cruel and vile act
The scars run deep, hidden inside
The wounds not seen by the naked eye
Memories that haunt and torment
The pain not lessened with time
The burden of shame and guilt
Weighed heavily on the heart and mind
The damage can't be undone
Your fist slams into my mouth, my teeth clack against your knuckles - this will teach me to shut up.
A silent cry for help, a scream
Never heard, a voice unheard.
A broken soul, a shattered dream,
Wishing to feel whole again.
A struggle to cope, a desire for comfort,
Looking for relief from the pain.
The memories of the onslaught,
A constant reminder of what was lost.
