What He Did!!!

(An illustration on the thoughts of an abused girl)


The moment I took my breath in relief, my soul could feel serene,
All the colors and vibes, the stars and lights, it all emerged from within.
But what I thought of those dark times, of how I thought it was over,
A big slap of jokes was what it was, delusions caught me closer.
‘Let go’ were the words I yelled, but you held on to me tight,
Instead of hugs you strangled me, and you knew you weren’t right.
Suffocated much I was, for you thought to be an embrace,
Like a caged bird I cried I fretted, and my heartbeats slowed its pace.
Giving up seemed the only way, for the happening was off the beam,
No matter how much I despised your touch, you heartlessly muffled my screams.
How ruthless one could be, to live and not let live,
How mercilessly your eyes gleamed, your grips they made me writhe.
Did it not hurt you too, when you beat me black and blue?
Did your heart not tremble at all, when you saw what you put me through?
It was the night of ghouls, and your face painted in clown,
I’d feared it from my infancy, an indication if I had known.
You ripped off what I wore, killing every bounds of shame,
The colors smeared on my skin, from a face that had no name.
You were taking all I had, and the ceiling conversed with me,
The patterns and the wallpaper, seemed intriguing than it should be.
For I opted to zone out, from the brutal reality,
To save me of disgust, or the pain you were causing me.
What I’d give to the one I love, you wrenched it selfishly,
A savage you were to me, unanswered went all my plea.
Foggy went my vision, your painted face seemed blur,
Dizzy of the blood in my throat, a nightmare I wished it were.
You bruised my body of sores, of dishonor and disgrace,
But the scar you put on my soul, can never be replaced.
