No More Poem by Joshua Fegley

A history of abuse
Lying awake hearing the rain
Sad and lonely nights
Nothing kills the pain

Feeling unwanted
Unattractive, indifferent
Repulsed by comfort and touch
Unsure of any true intent

Chilling memories
Agonizing affliction
Blurred past, flashback
Self-induced addiction

No more caring
No more embrace
No more caress
No more trust

Scattered remains
An anamnesis of pain
Ripped and torn
Colder than a winter rain

Sex brings temporary acceptance
Never again her way
His voice, the smell
It never goes away

Beaten and bruised
Strangled innocence
Fear and torment
Human sacrifice

No more touching
No more hugging
No more intimacy
No more love

Will she ever love again?
Or will it all be gone?
No more
