Standing on the oceans sand,
walking across the marvelous land.
Watching the waves crash from crest to crest,
never once do the breaks rest.
Each wave a silenced voice of pain,
they speak words whispered in the winds shame.
My mommy said it was from love,
as his hand crested my chest,
a love no one else could give me,
as he took off my dress.
Whispers of the waves speak,
as a new wave breaks,
jenny's story is unfolded,
and the truth behind her love, her hate...
He told me that he loved me,
and then he battered my face,
fixing my imperfections.
As he started un-butting the lace
He didnt want to hit me,
he told me oh so clear,
"i do this out of love,
now stop crying my dear..."
He was too afraid to loose me,
as he belittled my life,
telling me im ugly,stupid,fat,
then raping me each night.
Waves breaking's,
tear's falling,
the truth is that...
Were all secretly calling...
I walked down the long hallway,
only to find my deepest of fears.
He looked me dead in the eye.
"Do you know what time it is dear?"
I knew the time would soon be told,
as he took knife to my neck,
laughing as he mocked and scold?
What have i done to deserve such wreck?
A silenced voice of terror and fear,
each hushed by there true fright.
Calling out to help them heal.
Just listen in the whispers of the waves tonight.
A raised hand,
a battered face,
a raped girl,
LET THE SILENCE BREAK!

This is a truly sad but good poem. Nobody should have to endure such pain. I had a friend at the age of 12 get raped and got pregnant from it. This is such a pity. Enjoyed the read! Thank you for entering my contest.

This was a sad but good portrayal of what abuse and rape victims have to go through. True and raw. THe only thign I didn't like was the rhyme. It just seemed like it would've have been freer (sp?) without it. But that's just my opinion
Thank yuo for entering

This is definitely a touchy subject.
It shows how a relationship of any kind can go wrong.
I have something to point out, though.
Stanza 6 - the third line:
"telling me my ugly, stupid, fat"
~ i believe "my" is supposed to be "I'm"
The ending was incredible and tense.
You portrayed something horrible with this poem, but it's definitely a beautiful piece of art.
It's imagery is good - I can almost see it before my eyes. You described a lot of things well, too.
Kudos on this one!
It was very good.
Sincerley,
dovey ~
