The Only Part of Me Still Mine

by Sheye Blaze

Aching pain rape me take me
just leave my mind
leave my haven
Behind me he stands
waiting
waiting for tears
for screams
for cries
For any weakness that might show.
Enjoying the pain.
Watching every flinch.
Every expression.
every scar every bruise every word to the wise
trying to take away the only
part of me still mine.
Please don't leave me behind
Don't leave him to hurt me
You said now he can't, but
still he reaches out and
takes my hand.
And down the way we walk
to the only part of me still mine.
