There's this emptiness.
Right in the pit of my stomach.
Nothing can fill it, not even true loves kiss.
Of course, you know this...
But you haven't left yet. Why?
Is it because I have a nice ass?
Do you like the way I cry?
Or do you sense my need for serenity.
There's this tenderness in your eyes.
A sense of safety in your grip.
Your warm breath on my porcelain skin,
makes me weaker than my own sadness.
Although you're not the first to have felt every rift of my body,
Not the first to clasp your tentacles around my neck,
To starve my soul of every ounce of faith and innocence.
Though our connection is deeper than that I had with the man, or rather boy,
Who struck and threw me onto the uneven ground like trash.
The one who scarred me deeper than a knife ever could.
At age 14 I was broken. At age 18 I am stable. At age 22 could I be whole again?

Thanks you for sharing FRIEND this is a very intriguing poem ~ full of agony but with touches of ecstasy. I like the time line in your final line. Broken at 14 ~ that makes me ashamed to be a Man. What type of Man treats an innocent young Virgin like dirt ? Stable at 18 ~ That rings true I work with Teens and it does take 4 years for an abused Young Lady to stabilse so you are not alone. Whole again at 22 ? Another four years ~ that depends on a lot of factors ! Verses 1 to 3 suggest that you have been willing to enter into a relationship with another MALE and this has been touched with ecstasy (kisses ~ tenderness) but it is beginning to end and that is causing you another kind of pain ! In verse 4 you hark back to other experiences of intimacy ~ but tell us that your connection (experience) is deeper than with the person who abused you (@ 14). I learn something from all my intimate liaisons with Ladies nd I have been both hurt and cherished ~ love is like that. My philosophy is better to have loved and lost ~ than never to have experienced intimate love. This is much easier for Man to state than a Lady. I trust that soon you will find True Love. If all your experience of intimacy is positive and not aggressive you could well be WHOLE AGAIN by 22 ~ just have Faith and avoid heartless Lovers ! Thinking of you ~ Praying for you ~ Your Friend BRIAN I love the poem despite the sadness of some of the content. Please check my poems ~ Yours B
