The following piece was hard to pen and harder to share. I am aware that spousal rape is real and very much alive out there in the world - in all walks of life and all cultures and not just targeted at females. There are males out there who are also subjected to this crime. My intention is not to offend here, but share and open peoples eyes to the turmoil of emotions you feel, when abused by someone you love and trust. It is hard to bear the scars of any un-consensual inter-coarse, but it is even harder to move on and hold your head high. Be aware that you are not alone and reach out for help and support.
The Beast Inside
Contorting
with pain, from their sexual gain
Their
wanton pleasure, as they show no refrain
Blinded
in their anger, you reside in that cage
Of
a life that consumes, you're trapped by their rage
Licking
your wounds, in your child like caress
Replacing
the straps, on the shreds of your dress
The
pain in your heart, bringing thoughts of anew!
You
love this beast, but you can’t see it through
Your
wounds will recover, yourself you must fend
The
power with-in them, they will bring you your end
So
your wounds will recover, but never your scars
Those
shattered emotions… are cut deeper by far
