Couldn't he hear me <br />Hear my cries of pain <br />Couldn't he understand, <br />Understand my cries of shame. <br /> <br />With the 'no' that left me, <br />The expression truely meant, <br />He interpreted backwards <br />Thinking it was a 'yes' I sent. <br /> <br />Left me there afterwards <br />Cold and alone <br />Feeling soiled, used <br />He never heard my agonizing moan. <br /> <br />Cut me bad <br />Hurt me deep <br />Let me be <br />Bring forever sleep. <br /> <br />Not once, not twice <br />But too many to count <br />Too scared, too ashamed <br />Every man I doubt. <br /> <br />Though brief the time <br />It felt like an eternity <br />And knowing this ironic guilt <br />Shall always stay with me.<br /><br />Kimberly Cole<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/rape-10/
