Array ( [sid] => 13428 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => I lie still [time] => 2003-02-27 08:00:00 [hometext] => I dont know why I even wrote this poem but the idea came to mind. Its about a girl who was raped and hurt and then reflected on things shell never be able to do because of it. She lies dying on the pavement thinking of what her life could have been like if this had never happened. [bodytext] => I lie still
as your forceful ways abandon my mind
I try not to move as your fingers find their
way around my unknown body
reaching deep within my soul
my eyes dare not open
all I can do is cry
if I were to scream you would be the last
I would ever see
in my mind I wish to run away
hands at my sides, streams of blood leave
me hopeless
why do you hurt me so?
the tender touch I had wished to feel
will never hold me again
I am so ashamed
at the end you had walked away with my
innocence
of which I had wanted to keep
pain too much to bear on my own
I lie still
on the dark stone embankment
crying as though I have nothing left
but shameful wounds and scars
H-E-L-P spoken so lightly the breezes
sweep my words into the air
still watching the streams of blood flow down through the rocks and into the water
minutes later have seemed like eternity
pulling my sore body over the gravel and
onto the pavement
I lie still
calling your name with the little voice I have
left
my eyes close
and the night takes me within its arms
time slowly passes and I do not wish to move, I cant
why me precious world?
time leaves me behind
I will never taste your kisses
or feel your angelic touch
hear your soft spoken voice
or live to hold you in my arms
instead

After reading this I find myself emotionally shredded and sympathetic. The words disply such vivid and deep emotions.

Good write.
