Truly see me
Please don't look right through me
Hear me!
Not make believe you listen!
Take cognizance of the tears I dare not shed, bruises I dare not relate
Notice how I cringe in fear
Cover my stain, my reproach
I call for you to save me!
Without.... A virginal facade
Within a plundered WRECK!
My innocence stolen, my cover a RUSE!
WHY?
WHY won't you protect me?
From the smile that destroys
And the touch that annihilates?
I cry for you to save me!
A tender bud
To him, sexual gratification
A new shoot
To her, secret pleasures
LISTEN!
Hear my words unspoken
Be SENTIENT!
Feel the depths of my anguish
In silence my plea rings
Loud and Clear
In abstract my request stands
Firm and Strong
SAVE ME!
SAVE ME!
If only YOU would......
SAVE ME!
