Completely numb,

That's how I feel,

Was that night a dream,

Or was it real,

You were too strong for me,

I could only scream and cry,

But no one could hear me,

So I listened to my heartbeat die

You were taking my innocence,

But you didn't listen or care,

You kept going,

As if I'd asked to be there,

You gave me the darkest storm I've ever seen,

You took my light away,

And it hurts even worse,

To think that this storm is here to stay.

I had to help someone through that storm when we were only both 12. This world is changing for the worst. I couldnt believe something like this could happen to someone i knew at that age, and i feel more sorry for those in the younger generations... who knows what they have to witness.
A very sensitive topic.There are some lines that really stood out for me;
"You were taking my innocence,
But you didn't listen or care,"

That was very true, the most truest part of the whole experience. I wish i could help those people. Its so sad... and it makes me hate certain types of guys all the more. What really hurts me though... is why are there cases where they get together again?! What could possibly make someone so stupid to go back. Just like the case of domestic violence. If it has already happened it is possible to happen again...
But they need our support, not pity.
Hope this hasnt affected you too much, however you may be connected. Keep going strong, for yourself and for those directly involved.
I havent read something like this in a while Erin. I guess i have been a bit afraid of this topic for some reason. Thanks.

Thank you, Lionheart. You always say how you really think. Yes, that for me is the saddest part when they keep going back after it happens. And thank you so much for your comment even though this subject is touchy for so many.

Love Always,

hi! erin. from what i can interpret, innocence taken means the subject was raped/molested. and cruelly too. and pain of those few hours is to ever remain with her. this is too damn sensitive and heart-wrenching. lol. ;-)

Thank you, Lemon.
I don't know so many people are just selfish and don't care who they hurt in the process.

Hello Erin :)

This poem is the epitome of beauty and I am not saying that lightly. It takes a very secure artist to even touch this type of territory. I applaud you for your beautiful writing and techniques but most of all for your honesty and courage. This is amazing :)

Erin,

I've read most of you work, and I have to say, you've got a way with words. This poem is particular is moved me very deeply; it's a very sad story and it's beautifully written. In fact, your work has inspired me to write a few poems of my own, one of which I have put on the site. It's called "Day One," and it's an almost direct response to this particular poem. I hope you'll have the time to read it; it's very, very long, and might be a little disturbing (it's from a rapist's point of view), but I hope you'll enjoy it.

Love and Good Wishes,
Mark.
