Rape Dark blood pools at my feet Tears fall from swollen eyes Water, hot enough to singe skin But not hot enough to sterilize me And wash away your touches All join To trickle down the drain Along with my pride, self respect And my life ------------------ It is better to be silent and be considered a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.

Chilling, hoot....but I believe an apt description of the moment. ------------------ The only man worth your tears will never make you cry... |

Very hard to read that one but I think it is a very good idea that you posted it. That is one tough poem. Take care and talk to you soon, Ruth. Tyson |

wow, this was disturbing. I could see the woman in the shower. Very sobering. ------------------ "Glory remains unaware of my neglected dwelling where alone I sing my tearful song which has charms only for me." -Charles Brugnot |

Well written though right now I cannot speak of more than rage over this vile act. ------------------ Now and forever my heart hears ~one voice~. DreamEvil© |

Extemely powerful..a truly horrid, cruel act..exellently done. ------------------ *Krista Knutson* Wise is he who faces the frailty of man with the strength of an understanding heart. -- Daniel L. Miller |

Very well done, Hoot. You painted the scene very vividly with so few words. ------------------ Denise |

I was deciding whether or not to read this poem, and obviously I read it as you can see. As my stomach knots up, I recall that very moment so clearly having been there myself...As dsnyder said, you did paint the scene very vividly with so few words! ------------------ ~*~ I write to know I am alive ~*~ |

Hoot: If only the victims of these assaults weren't the ones that end up on trial: the judge being ourselves and often if you have the courage to have the attacker brought to court, the judge then becomes the world at large... HUGS ------------------ You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give. |

I just want to say thanks to everyone for your replies to this one....it's something I've needed to write for years and only now finally had the courage to do so ------------------ It is better to be silent and be considered a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt. |

Hoot: I posted a poem quite similar to this on adult some time ago... So much more than blood goes down the drain, doesn't it? *S* And it's infinitely sad so many share these feelings. |
