Plundering Of her Soul

 

 A horrible crime...

  Rape - Loss of innocence
            Rape - She didn't have a choice
           Rape - Nobody heard her voice
          Rape - Memories of the past...
    Erased out her soul
     She doesn't want to remember
   She wants her husband to go
       She thinks he finds her unclean

 

  Her innocence ...so violated

     And the guilt is killing her

   Even though it's not her faul

She feels as though it is

    She told her husband to go...

He refused ...

    He loved her even though

 

~

The monster who raped her accomplished his mission

He used and abused her

Took all her visibility

      Now...

        She just wants to hide

The scene keeps playing in her head...

Like a bad movie

 

 Rape...She didn't have a choice

Rape...Nobody heard her voice

I love the lines:
Erased out her soul
she doesn't want to remember.

I can only imagine what a woman must feel if a violation of this type of evil is committed against her body and spirit. Thank you for reading and reviewing Sami

You are welcome.

Poignant heartfelt write. Not many tackle this topic and yet it is so prevalent in society. You have a clear flowing voice.

Thank you Moon. Yes, it's a hard topic to tackle for sure. But as you say it's one of those issues that society as a whole needs to address
