Raped

by Ariana   Jun 24, 2006


I keep wiping away the tears
Trying to forget that night
I thought since you were there
Everything would be alright

I never thought you would do
Those awful things you did to me
I get so sick thinking about it
It's so hard for me to believe

Maybe it's my fault
I had a lot to drink
Maybe I was asking for it
I just don't know what to think

You knew I still loved you
But I meant it when I said no
I didn't even know who it was at first
But I guess you didn't think so

In the morning when I woke up
I thought it was a nightmare
But when I looked around
I still saw you standing there

I pretended to be okay
I didn't want to hurt you
You were the love of my life
I didn't want to be weak; not in front of you

So I smiled and hugged you
In front of all of your friends
Pretending it was like any other party
And any other weekend

But when everyone left
I couldn't hold back the tears
How could you be the guy
I had loved for 3 years?

I couldn't get out of my bed
Or tell anyone at all
I just pretended I was alright
I didn't stumble I didn't fall

I laid awake all night
Remembering what you did to me
But you pretended nothing happened
It was all make-believe

I took so many showers
I just felt so dirty
And I couldn't figure out
Why you would want to hurt me

It's been over 9 months
But it feels like yesterday
And all i can do is sit here
And wipe the tears away

I can't seem to trust another guy
As hard as I try
It's not their fault
But I can't tell them why

And yet I love you so much
But you ruined my life
So quickly I returned
To the comfort of the knife

I want to tell someone
I swear I do
But I can't
Because I'm to afraid of hurting you

    This poem indeed tells a horrible and sad truth, i admire your strength for writing this, for expressing such a crime is something not easily done. i feel the saddness and desperation in this poem.

    I can see that you poured your heart and soul into this poem and that alone deserves the highest praise.

    The man in this poem is an animal, nothing more, even if this poem is not based on personal experience he is still very much a real person, his kind need to be hunted down and punished.

    sorry for the rant but this is something i feel very strongly about.

    The poem itself was excellent for lack of a better word and very moving, im actualy choked up, very well done.
