Destroyed
Lights flashed against a shivering sky,
sweat covers our bodies as he pins me down.
Screaming,
crying,
silencing,
terror-
the destroying of innocence.
Now a depetalled flower,
empty and colorless
with the roots to go back-
but no tools. No help.
Every inch of skin,
ravish and exposed-
I cannot move.
He was not gentle,
not careful, nor sweet-
he was violent. He just took me;
he just destroyed me.
