...The Beast

Missing image
Floating safely above,
One sees what is forgotten.
Dirty claws ripping savagely;
Innocent flesh torn.

Inside little ones scream -
Pain they have felt before.
Wide-eyed they stare,
Frightened of what is to come.

The beast’s breath decayed and hot.
His movements rough and callous.
Like a ragdoll lying motionless;
Her blood the only sign of life.

Humiliating words impale her soul.
Wishing death quickly upon herself;
Knowing she is shattered and impure.
The beast finishes with a snarl.

Mirrors reflect innocence lost;
A shell of a body filled with lost souls.
Not knowing where to turn -
Curled into a fetal position, rocking steadily.

    A person who rapes is a beast indeed.
    A pure monster.

    "The beast’s breath decayed and hot.

    Definitely dark and raw and full of intensity.
    Very well-written as well; I'm impressed.

    Thanks for entering.
