Time stopped when he took her body and left her there,
Alone by the river with nothing to wear.
He took everything she had, then turned away,
No words were spoken, no apologies said.
The scratches and bruises have faded with time,
But the memories echo, relentless, unkind.
They scream in the dark inside her head,
He was the monster beneath her bed.
He seized control, treated her like a thing,
As if her pain meant nothing at all to him.
She couldn’t scrub his presence away,
He was the cost she never should’ve had to pay.
She begged, she pleaded for him to stop,
But mercy was never something he brought.
