Marital Rape

 

Misogynist ego bares its ugliness

Arrogance in attitude superior

Regard for her he held inferior to him

Insufficient emotions he had none

Taboo it was thought of

Alone she felt no one would believe her tale

Lasciviousness hiding in plain sight

 

Revulsion at his touch

Anchored to pain

Praying for retribution

Erasing all memories of him

Dream

In a dream, you came to me

Reaching out my hand to touch you

The penetration went straight through

A figment of imagination

 But this was a dream and you were real

How then can you leave me empty?

Incomplete

Trouble thoughts awaken me

And I ask myself if I’d done something wrong

You never left me empty and alone

Even in repose

I pray comeback to me one more time

Give me that chance of fulfillment if only

In my dream
