What can my fatigued Mind do? <br />When sleep abandons my thoughts <br />And restlessness moves in instead <br />Coloring my night's worries <br />With constant nagging pains <br />And the taste of dryness on my tongue <br />Feeding cancerous lumps in my throat <br />And the breathe of life from my lungs <br />Snuffed out without shame <br />You rape me <br />You imprison me <br />You silence me <br />You suffocate me <br />You nail me to <br />Walls of invisible emptiness <br />You victimize me <br />Over and over again <br />How can I bleed any more? <br />When my blood has coagulated. <br />Its not the physical abuse that hurts the most <br />But your silent neglects of who I am <br />Your love making every night <br />To cold mugs and a remote <br />Your love making late, late at night <br />Under cover of your laptop <br />Where on the hunt from harlot to harlot <br />As your eye's droop with lust <br />Your hand down your crotch <br />Stroking wide open the doors of self-love <br />With intensities once shared with mine <br />As your breath with flames erupt <br />Which once were my domain? <br />When you first trapped me with your addiction <br />And now like a bathroom mat <br />You step on me with unwashed feet <br />And now I witness your guiltless stains <br />That you toss in the clothes hamper <br />For me to wash you lusts away <br />How can I cut these locks open? <br />That bind me with invisible keys <br /> Hiding in your cruelty?<br /><br />Leaking Pen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-rape-of-lucrece-2/
