You raped my innocence, now love won't grow I must reap what you did sow The emptiness inside me still echoes I didn't understand that I could say no I was only 7 years old Even then I knew, don't let the tears show You may wound me with your words, your hands, your body But you'll never know, the tears won't show You'll call me cold, a frigid bitch 'Cause I can't display my pain In the weepy conventional way I will fight you, my words will bite you But my tears won't well for you You called me ugly, you called me a whore You threw me across the room 'til I crumbled to the floor You were the only man I adored When you couldn't wield the deadly blow I became the ship and you, the broken oar Still you can't make my tears flow You can scar me with your words, your hands, your body A lifetime of pain that you'll never see You won't know if I cry in the dark I'll never let you know I hurt Strength and pride is what you'll view My tears won't ever fall for you I felt your passion burn, saw your love so clear You always told me I had nothing to fear I bought you the boots, the ones you so revered Never thought those boots would ever strike my ear It took me 3 months to be able to hear But I never shed a single tear You can't kill me with your words, your hands, your body You can't destroy what you made so strong You tore up my soul, ripped my heart to pieces But I will not weep, will not be your victim I walked away, didn't even say good-bye I promise, you will never see me cry. |

not much one can say about such raw emotional pain and anger but that it tears the heart out to know others suffer such things...and that no matter how much we the reader might want to take the pain and anger away...to make everything ok.. we can't... all we can do is listen and offer the thoughts it doesn't always have to be this way.... |

I'm not one for outwardly showing any emotion, but this one hurt bad enough to crack the armor. I'm sending you loving and healing thoughts, and the wish that you find solace within your heart and your thoughts, and that the pain ends. Outstanding write. ~You might say I'm a Dreamer, but I'm not the only one... |

no one should ever have to cry these tears, but it can be a comfort knowing there are other tears out there. It took strength to write this, and it is written very well. |
