" Through Shattered Eyes "

I hear the silence I taste the tears
The echoes of guilt will haunt my years~
The empty nothing I know the pain
As it fills my soul I feel the shame.

I see my clothes fall to the floor
His breath on my face as he locks the door~
I feel his touch upon my naked skin
Trying to push him away, but he enters in.

I see the world through different eyes
As he lays there a part of me dies~
And I feel his touch upon me again
Though I ask him to stop he takes me again.

I hear him shower in the next room
Happily singing his favourite tune~
While I lay on my bed in a tattered mess
My innocence lost I feel the abyss.

I see him smile and give me a kiss
As he says he remembers it was as good as this~
I see his clothes with mine on the floor
As I feel his touch on me once more.

I taste the tears of my shattered pain
As he raped me over and over again~
I hear him profess his love for me
As I cringe at the feel of his touch on me.

I feel him lay there by my side
His hands on me and my pain inside~
The tears I cry reflect my shame
As I realize things won't be the same.

I tell a friend I see him stare
His disbelief cannot compare
To the violation of my trust
The night my ex took me in lust.

I hear the truth twisted into lies
My secret shame before the eyes
Of all who were my supposed friends
Their compassion was only just pretend.

I will not ever be the same
As I see him walk beyond my pain~
He was not punished I let him go
The shame he gave me he'll never know.
