Rape

I now live in terror, by day and by night;
As I remember with horror, when you took my life.
You stripped me of all the trust I have known;
And all of the love, that I've ever been shown.

You've put me through Hell, here on this earth;
I now ask God why, He let my Mother give birth??
I would much rather not, have been born here at all;
As I sit here and watch, my whole world take a fall.

Not a day passes by, that I don't relive the act;
You've ended my life, and that is a fact!
They caught you and put you in prison for years;
But somehow that will never erase all my fears.

I have to live now with the thoughts in my mind;
Of what you did then, and no peace can I find.
My nights are now filled with sweat and with tears;
And nothing ahead, but long, lonely years.

You left nothing inside my heart but pure hate;
My whole world was stopped when you performed rape!
You took everything I had of value or worth.
I know I'm going to Heaven, I had my Hell here on earth!
