I speak for Emma’s demons
It might not have been like that, An escape from Egypt. But I wanted to go. A shoulder to lean on. A dry river to well with my tears, My home like Sobibor What I thought, my fortress. Another Sodom and Gomorrah. Innocent as I was, I naively ran into your arms. Because for you, Love you exuded, A shoulder to lean on, An ear to listen to my teenage drama. That my Mama never talked about. But I was wrong. He tore into my flesh, I struggled for my dignity, He pushed and pushed, As he broke into a sweat. He tore into my flesh. My innocence he took away, My dignity I still cry for it, My dreams, Like a whirlwind. He took away with his bestiality, Then he left me for dead, After taking my dignity, virginity and dreams, And the headlines read. “Girl raped and left for dead.” But then , A seed of his madness, he had sowed, I cried for my future and for my fatherless baby. And when I look at her. It still reminds me of that fateful evening. But sometimes….. And as lovely as society is. All fingers of blame were pointed at me, He vanished without a trace, No. Society spent a lot of time blaming me, That they just let him escape., Even the long arms of law. I hope it haunts you wherever you are, I hope that when you look at your daughters, You feel that insecurity!
