The Violation
By: Connie SpectorHovering in a corner, no chance for escape
I remember the fear enveloping me.
I lived in a world that forbade me to be
Free from the pain of reality.He approached me with kindness
Though by now I certainly knew
It was about to start all over again
It was always in the same room.He seemed gentle and loving.
Who knew he was so cruel?
When the darkness surrounded me
The pain made me feel like a fool.How could I let this happen again?
I felt like it must be my fault.
I told him to stop again and again.
But he just wouldn’t halt.The ache ripped through my body
As he forced himself into me.
I screamed but he kept on going
And I cried until I couldn*t see.The tears streamed down my face
And I felt worthless and so hated.
He finally finished his dirty deed
And slowly the physical pain abated.He left me lying there, his smell still present.
I slowly got up but felt unclean
I staggered into the bathroom to take a shower
And get rid of the smell of a freshly raped teen.Copyright © 2002 Connie Spector
