Just A Body

They rip at my clothes

Hunger in their eyes

To treat me like meat

Under the guise of being

"Nice guys"

They ravage

And leave carnage
Trailing kisses down my neck
Then toss me out like rubbish
Proud about the woman they have wrecked

They claw and tear at me
My inner most parts

My heart
My soul
My body

My mind and all my charms

Plucking me until there's nothing
Scraping at the shrapnel
The war zone of my being
That has been left of me

By the men who came before
Docked at the shore
Told lies then made me trust
Then cry
Then leave once more

I'm

Bare and shaking
Naked and afraid

Blank stares blurred with tears
Tossed aside
Ashamed

In my mind 

I think I deserve it

Because I should have known

To think 

Someone could love me

For all I am

When I know
I am just a body
