SILENCE
It played on and on like a scene from a movie
The graphics filled mind replaying the hell hole she lived in
Memories never to be forgotten
Their voices have become an all familiar music
Their faces, an all familiar ghost
Hunting down the dose of peace once familiar
Large, small, medium hands groping her
White, black and maybe pink hands she says
As the facts becomes blurred and confusion sets in
She wasn’t supposed to end like this
She wasn’t supposed to be hollow
She was supposed to be full of life
She was supposed to be in love
Supposed to get married
And live the rest of her life in love and happiness
Hmm, Life
Life didn’t turn out the way she wanted
She ought to have seen the signs
She ought to not have trusted him blindly
Maybe what they say is true
Love is Blind
She trusted him with all her heart
Her one true love
And as the memories of the day
When the gong sounded “sold” came rushing
The day the sweetness of his lips sweetened her into believing a lie
The sweet-smelling savor of his lips promising a job
And like a fool in desperate need of a job
She fell from the highest level into the darkest level of prostitution
A prostitute without a choice
She became the sole provider of sexual orgasms
In true fulfillment to her riches in glory
To be harassed and abused became a daily food
As they all claim she was a good sex toy
Suitable for their weird fetishes
In the end she was rescued from that Gehenna
But her graphics filled mind never did leave that Gehenna
The darkness shone brighter and brighter
The girl we once knew was lost
Her once expressive eyes had become lifeless
Existing was her daily routine
The darkness finally won the battle
And in truth, the true ending is this
She finally gave in to the pain
The last I heard of her was silence
