Stars

I'm peering up at the stars in the sky.
Their beauty enthral my envious eyes,
Such peace and tranquillity lurks the air-
I almost forget that his hands are there.

Each pore of mine is compromised by touch,
Fear sprints through me but- it is not enough.
My eyelids slam shut like a building's door;
Fabric deprives me of wealth, I deplore:
This thing, so greedy, seduces my fright-
Enough so that I'm dismissed by the night.

Shards of rain cover my dampened cheeks and-
I feel my body squirm within his hands.
Vulnerability courses through my veins,
Restriction captivates me with his chains.

Asphyxiation grasps hold of my lungs;
Screams lie on the tip of my fragile tongue.
Tainted innocence dissolves from my skin,
I struggle as he forces his way in.

Again, I peer up at the starry sky,
I now know that its beauty is a lie.
The peace is corrupted by silent shrieks-
His entity will scar for countless weeks...
