As the cloth slips away, She starts to pray. What you see there, Will it make you care? Or will you run, And find a gun To shoot right here, Into my heart, my dear. I feel your eyes on my sides, As they slip and slide, All over and under, As you shake me asunder. And yet I ask, “do you see?” I see burns and scars of the third degree. Dare you trace the lines, To learn the stories, which are mine? Look closely as I trace my ******* The small supple lumps unlike the rest. You see back in the day I was small and flat, As they sneered and jeered and said “what is that?” Trace the red lines down toward my inner thigh, From the lonely night when I realized, That never again would I be able to cry. That night a small part of me did die. If you dare to look to my southern most lips, They tremble and quibble from the bites and the nips Of a night spent pinned by a man’s embrace And being forced open for pleasures not graced. But if you glance at the hole in my chest, Where a beating heart should rest You’ll see that it has been taken By a father whose love has been forsaken. So tell me truthfully Tell me quite deeply Is this tortured naked body worth seeing? Or shall you run fleeing?
