No Longer Poem by charlotte marie peachey

left alone for months
but no longer.
he came back

I blame myself.
If only this
if only that

Its hard to think
again, he hurt me so

but again I let it happen
over powered
not in control

crying out
I told him no
I told him no

he heard
but didn't listen
did not stop.

only words
they couldn't save me.

he pushed me back
and held me down
took what he wanted

He had no right
that much I know
but it doesn't make it better

I was still hurt
I was still raped

Alone I cry
tormented inside

and the fear keeps me from being heard
