A Twisted Fairy Tale

This really happened to me. It's about rape. Please enjoy.

Taking a walk under the beautiful moon light

Holding his hand, as we talked about our future

How his love could take all people by surprise

Pushing me on the swings, telling me he would catch me if I fall

I slide down the slide, He is waiting for me at the bottom

His smile is as bright as the stars

But then I feel my head get slammed against the slide

"Its alright, I am taking care of you" He whispered to me

Is this love? Is this the care I deserve? 

The cold air hits my body as he rips off my clothes

I can feel his rage, I can taste his lust

Screaming was not an option when he threatened me

"Shhhh don't scream, your brains don't wanna meet the slide, Do they?"

Tears came down hysterically as I felt more than I wanted too

"Get dressed, I hear your mom calling for you"

He holds my hand and walks me to the road before his

He kisses my hand, and walks into the shadows

I wipe my tears, fix my clothes, put on a smile, and pretend that my life did not just get worse

Mom tucks me into bed, gives me a kiss, tells me she loves me

I close my eyes and start to cry, about a love that will never die

I'm very sorry this happened to you. I choked up reading this. I don't know you,but i feel very proud of you after reading that. To be able to bear those memory's into a poem and share it, is very brave of you. I sense your a very strong girl who will always come out fighting. Writing about you experiences is a great release keep it up, your very talented. xx :)

and learn to see the love in the eyes of people who really matter..
i am really glad to meet a person as strong as you...cheers and never give up :)

This is hardly enjoyable. How could someone love you and abuse you...especially as you are so young. All you can do is go on. You can't pretend it didn't happen, but you can pretend it doesn't matter. I know whereof I speak.

I speak of love in this because he told me he loved me, and that is why he did it. This happened when I was 11 years old, I didn't know any better. I thought love was pain.

Very sad. You were mentally and physically abducted and mugged by a monster. Sorry it had to happen to you. I hope you told someone other than WC?

[StillUnwritten]

I have. Thank you.

[Bare trees]

Glad to hear that.

Very disturbing. As it should be, given the theme of rape.

[StillUnwritten]

Yes, this is very disturbing. It is a way of release.

Time does heal. Not a cliche, but a truth.

[StillUnwritten]

I agree.
