Three on one, let the games begin She's intoxicated and numb Fighting off the needle, but she fails again They jump her and shove her Push her and pull her Strip her and hit her She cries and she screams She groans and she moans Drunk, but she knows This isn't how it was supposed to go Back alleys and stairwells Beaten and bruised Naked, confused How did she get here? And when will it stop They mock her and laugh Grabbing her flesh No beauty she lacks The stars shine so bright In a painted blue sky Why, such a lovely night For an innocent game Of three on one February 13th Friday 2009 Emily Shives |

A powerful write Emily. But it struck a dread chord in me. When I was 17 (I'm 22 now) my fiancee was addicted to heroin and she was raped by three men while incapaitaed by the drug at a party. I still remember how she used to cling to me and cry. Some nights I wake up drenched in cold sweat and in tears. I lost her to the drug. There's no one out there untouched by these things, you just have to do the best for those you love, take the hard choices on the chin and keep on living your life. Never sigh for a better world, it's already composed, played and told. |
