I cannot forgive him

Rape Poems
( 16 Votes )I cannot forgive him
I cannot tell of how I feel
I cannot express the shame
That engulfs me each time I hear
the whisper of his name.
I cannot bear the remotest thought
of the memory of his touch
His hands on me, his body on mine
remembering hurts too much.
I cannot wash away the smell
or the feel of him
No amount of water will cleanse me
of his touch on my skin.
I cannot see him day to day
in the company of my friends
Without the feeling of betrayal
that he once was one of them.
I cannot believe I trusted him
as a friend of mine
All his smiles and charming ways
will haunt me till the end of time.
I cannot believe I let him in
what was I thinking of?
There was no consent, no choice,
and nothing that resembled love.
I cannot hear the whispers
without feeling the shame
The knowledge of what he did to me
is like being raped again.
I cannot escape the torment
that fills my heart with pain
No laughter or joy in my soul
only emptiness remains.
I cannot feel the support around me
of those I call my friends
Where are they in my time of need ~
on whom can I depend?
I cannot ever forget the pain
of my loneliness
Where I once had belief and love
he gave me emptiness.
I cannot begin to forgive him
he took too much from me
My innocence, trust and all he replaced
with the shame he gave to me.
I cannot express the shame
That engulfs me each time I hear
the whisper of his name.
I cannot bear the remotest thought
of the memory of his touch
His hands on me, his body on mine
remembering hurts too much.
I cannot wash away the smell
or the feel of him
No amount of water will cleanse me
of his touch on my skin.
I cannot see him day to day
in the company of my friends
Without the feeling of betrayal
that he once was one of them.
I cannot believe I trusted him
as a friend of mine
All his smiles and charming ways
will haunt me till the end of time.
I cannot believe I let him in
what was I thinking of?
There was no consent, no choice,
and nothing that resembled love.
I cannot hear the whispers
without feeling the shame
The knowledge of what he did to me
is like being raped again.
I cannot escape the torment
that fills my heart with pain
No laughter or joy in my soul
only emptiness remains.
I cannot feel the support around me
of those I call my friends
Where are they in my time of need ~
on whom can I depend?
I cannot ever forget the pain
of my loneliness
Where I once had belief and love
he gave me emptiness.
I cannot begin to forgive him
he took too much from me
My innocence, trust and all he replaced
with the shame he gave to me.
