Nevermore will we be greeted
with your smile each morn
Nevermore will your heart ache
for some one to hold you dear
Nevermore will the sun set
over your horizon
Nevermore will you smell
the spring flowers in bloom
Nevermore will your painful secret
eat away at your soul
Nevermore will you need cry
tears of anguish and self pity
Nevermore shall you suffer
at the hands of another
Now you live in peace
Your mind is no longer clouded
Your heart is no longer fearful
Your body is no longer a rapists temple
Your spirit is finally free to soar
As you stand there holding god's hand
You shall be forsaken
Nevermore
Author notes
Just something dark that was stirring in my mind. My own thoughts that empathise with victims of abuse who have initiated their own passing to stop the torment.
I am carer to a bi-polar sufferer who was raped as a child, and have had a work colleague I became good friends with commit suicide also. So I do understand the emotional trauma associated with both cases.

so horribly sad. There is so much emotion and raw sadness in this simple piece, each line has a wonderful flow to the next and each line was quite emtional. Good job
-

-
wow...this is great
I really liked reading your poem. The title caught me offguard, because I have a poem etitled Nevermore...so I thought that this poem would be kinda fun to read. It's so sad and depressing and yet she still gets some salvation.

the intention was to get the message out as to the reasons behind the high rate of youth suicide, and a large percentage of that is rape victims who can no longer feel love for themselves let alone anyone else.

Thank you for those kind remarks, it's awful to hear someone so young had lost all hope that they chose to do that. All the more reason to show them they are loved despite what has happened to them.

Wow, this is wonderfully deep and dark. I am very sadened by this subject. i just saw a special about how many children as young as 5 yrs of age, have killed themselves to escape abuse, for they are to young to know of anyother way. How sad and heart breaking this world has become.
But you gave it a very hopeful feeling, that now they are safe and happy.
Beautifully written and the border is awesome for it! -
such darkness is it that makes one to leave this world by their own hand,,, the empathy felt here is intense,, such a sad and sadly true tale...wonderfully written,,

Oh I fotgot......LOVE the background

This a beautiful, dark and sad write, to think the demons of our past are sometime too great to overcome. Thanks
-
This is so sad. No one should have to commit suicide because they are being bullied or abused. This was so sad. But rather than wanting to cry I felt a bit of anger well up inside me. Good write, you evoked many emotions.
