I Married A Rape Survivor

I married a rape survivor

She was terrified and broken

Shaken till the last drop of blood

She can’t even face the mirror now

Now she hates herself for being a girl.

Just few seconds had stolen her identity

Her respect her pride her value her existence

Corner of a room was now her place

Tears dried heart soaked smile disappeared

Yes I married a rape survivor!

Believing I could give back her effeminacy

I hold her hands when no one wanted her

Society expelled her. Why? Because she lost her virginity

Because she lost her dignity

Because someone forced her played her.

Because someone snatched her femininity

I don’t care, I love her and I promise to take care of her

I will bring back her pride her attitude her smile

Hoping I could take her to my world of peace

Yes I married a rape survivor!

I can’t touch her; I can’t make her feel comfortable

Suddenly at night she wakes up and cries

That night still haunts her

My beautiful bud was plucked

Crushed and trampled her soul was tampered.

I gave her home my family my love

Yet she resists inside of her, still her voice trembles

Still the cruel eyes of world poaches her

Still the comments of anyone shatters her

She tried a lot to move on but that cruel laugh torments her

But now she had her peace for she hanged herself.
