Emotional Rape

Its hard to find words to explain
the tragic response to words left to sting


Scared to reveal the blood
dripping from the heart


Flooding emotions of disbelief
accompanied by sorrow and pain


Constant wondering
if I am to blame


Giving a name to describe how I feel
spinning and whining with each new hill

Refusing to take refuge
with storm clouds above

Raping of emotions
is there such a thing?

Look at my soul and see the pain

As the mind and the heart
link hand in hand

Understanding that rapist
target their victims


Knowing full well
their need for power and control


Knowledge is my power
from where I stand


Emotional Rape has no home
even if I must stand alone.
