Deprivation

You looked into my eyes and stole what was left of me

Your touch cold and foreign reached deep within me

And with such passion you violated, manipulated, humiliated

My hopes, my dreams, my aspirations

All that was left of me was a girl stripped of confidence

A girl deprived of love and adoration

With sunken eyes and a timid demeanor

Afraid to reach beyond the darkness that enclosed me

In your shadow of hate and misery

Now I walk with my head down against the cold concrete beneath me

Longing for what you stole to come back to me

So I can throw my head back against the sunshine

And rejoice as the girl I use to be before your poison destroyed me

The hurt in your poem is evident and you describe very well. I liked your poem very much. Good luck.
