Silent Screams

He folded my arms and tied them tight

My legs kept on kicking him away

He seized my legs and tied them next

My fragile body shattered by his strength

He crawled towards me like a lion walks towards his prey

Only he were a lion in his own dirty world

He laughed at me as if having accomplished something

His breath smelled of disgust

He pulled my hair, pulling me closer

I spit everything I had on his tainted face

He slapped me harder, I lost a tooth or two

But he didn’t stop

He kept coming onto me stronger

He kept coming onto me stronger

I begged him to stop, but he seemed to enjoy my prayer

Intimacy would make me feel like a woman I thought,

But I felt like a toy

As he kept coming onto me stronger

He kept coming onto me stronger

I could hear my bones crack

As he thrust his fingers into my skin

I defined a new level of pain that moment

He moaned out of pleasure as I moaned in sorrow.

It’s strange how a moment can mean different to people.

I lost everything I had in that moment

But he seemed to have added a badge in his jar.

He pulled the cloth out of my mouth

And threw me a sheet.

I tried to gather my body under it,

Saving the little that was left of me.

I looked around and even the walls looked away.

They must have been ashamed of what they had witnessed.

I tried to gather a word, begging for one last plea.

But words deserted me that night, just like many other things.

Locking the door he walked away.

Taking all the colors with him.

The world seemed black and white through my swollen eyes

And soon tears deserted me too

And all I was left with was my screams, echoing in my head.

Those screams, I knew would be stuck with me for a lifetime
