Her beauty isn't measured by some European standard of what beauty should be but by her confidence and the fact that she is loving the skin she's in. To me, that alone is beautiful.

she cries alone

( for the missing)

 

 

 

she cries alone

 

drenched in tears 

of her own shame

but not of her making

 

he ascended from shadows

and shadowed her 

shattering her dreams

as easily as did her hymen

 

she became his fixation

a nightmare lived daily

where time

nor the hour matters 

anymore

 

this monster

that looks as human as we

invisible to the eyes of humanity

 

the unthinkible atrocities he commits

upon innocent flesh

remits

 

 

shackled

and caged like a dog

 

she cries alone

 

a burden

no child should have to bear

 

she thinks of her mother and father 

of her brother and sister and yes

of her dog sam

 

if only

she could warn them of

the monster that lives next door

the monster

that comes to borrow sugar

or sip coffee

with mum on the porch

at times drinking a few beers with

dad after work

boasting of games played

on the sports network

 

all the while stealing glances

at us children

 

she cries alone

 who would believe her

 

this man a pillar of the community

always a helping hand

cant you see he's a sham

a monster

a pedophile

a child rapist

 

ask him

as to my whereabouts

see if he answers you

with a straight face

 

the rattling of the cage 

alerts her to his presence

he comes yet again

 

she cries

screams

and pleads

for him to leave her alone

but this only seems to give him pleasure

mocking her

he mounts her quickly

his screams and cries of perversion

the only sound left

heard in the room

 

a single solitary tear

falls from her eye

please God

just let me die she begs

her lament

falling upon deaf ears

 

maybe

it is God

who is dead or

maybe

God has no ears to hear

 

the monster has left the room

but his stench lingers

pervasively

like the smell of death

 

is it possible

to smell ones own death she muses

for surely

she dies a little each day

the death

of abandonment

the death

of loneliness

the death

of regret

the death

of her soul

 

if only

she was strong enough

to fight back

she would scratch out his eyes

and rip out his tongue

that filthy slimy thing

she would feed to sam

he would eat anything

the thought

giving her slight amusement

 

the rattling of the cage

startles her

 

he's back yet again

 

she begins to cry.
