Great Tragedy

by sonJa - Aries

shaking hands
sweating palms
teary eyes
all at one

chattering teeth
red blood to blue
shivering lips
they contaminate you

swelling head 
flushed cheeks
out of breath 
you try to speak 

but in the darkened dungeons you lay
with no one there to  here you say 
"rape"
you cry rapes a few more times
and then you here the chimes of the noise of the boots of that man 
that man who has come to save

he looks all around
at the crack in MY crown
at the nail marks on the wall
and now he understands my call

he picked me up and carried me away
to a far off place 
near a shining blue bay 

and there he layed me down to rest
and gave me healing to his best 
then married me to cover up the great big mess

this goes to show that not all men are cruel
that some are good
even to battered women trapped under a hood
