Private Parts -------------------------------------------
heavy breathing.
in...out...in...out...
it hurts...it hurts so much.
the truth...the lies... the memories of him
inside me. he's a bad man... he shouldnt
touch me there.
such a bad man.
im sick now.
my stomache...
sick now
on the floor...
in my room.
mr. snuffles stares at me.
stuffed animals are staring at me.
they know im dirty...
sick on the floor.
close my eyes...
when he comes.
remember the place...
i was before.
when i come back
i'll feel better.
he'll be gone
forever.
The sun is warm on my face
i look up at it
as the tall grass
brushes my body.
I am peaceful
here in this place
free from sin
a pure innocent
girl again.
the warmth
the lazy breeze
in my hair.
the swaying of the earth
rocks me to sleep.
Eyes open wide
on the floor again.
the sickness is gone.
hatred overwhelms me.
unclothed and no longer ashame
i look for the blade
that kept me so quiet before.
i watch as the metal submerges
his pale flesh.
a twist...
a muffled noise...
the gurggle of blood
and death from his throat.
this will keep daddy quiet now
as i lay on the floor
sick and alone
and dirty
it's a bit...literal. the beauty of poetry is that you can say something without actually saying it at all. i admire the in-your-face rawness of this, but it reads a bit like a story. i guess there's not really much left to the imagination of the reader.
i hope this helps. i'm kind of rusty at this.
