Goodbye My Love
By: Alicia J. Buckingham
Is this love?
Or is it rape?
I wouldn't know
I don't have time to tell
He sneaks in
And he undresses me
But I don't notice
For I'm asleep
He kisses me
And whispers in my ear
Words of hatred
For he cant have me
He touches me
And makes me touch him back
I try to scream for help
But his hand covers my lips
I look into his eyes
And try to see the good
In him
But it is helpless
He is evil in too many ways
He tells me he won't hurt me
But hasn't he already done that?
His words are no good
I cannot trust him
I try no to let him enter
But he breaks through
His wrath is deep within
It gives me a new sensation
Suddenly
I don't want him to stop
I pretend I fell asleep
But he leans over and
Tells me to open my eyes
He knows I'm awake
I open my eyes and
Slap him
He can't handle me
Or how I act
He knows my every move,
My every thought
He kisses my cheek
And laughs
I glare at him and start to cry
He leaves my room
But I know he'll be back tomorrow
But will I be back?
No,
For my soul is leaving
And so shall my body
I grab my gun
And pull the trigger
Good-bye my love
I know you'll find another victim
