Invisible wounds

Dreary nights tend to bring dreary days
And here the story takes place
Thieves make their home at night
And the innocent they do often prey
This was no chivalrous romance
Nor a fight for something true
It was the face of pure evil
And the effects that soon ensued

He snuck quietly through the window
And into her occupied bed he crept
Her body jumped from sheer surprise
But he was quicker by just one step
The icy fingertips numbed her fiery heart
And ran over her body with cold-hearted eyes
Pain now took a back seat to agonizing emotions
She had never so badly contemplated suicide
Clasped tight around her barren neck
Air came much slower in the futile fight
A distorted predator was all that remained
A hazy image of her empty sight
His penetration into her now broken soul
Brought upon thousands of merciless tears
Still she held back her outward cries
But now came the part she always feared
His voice sighed with a slight chuckle
At the sound of his definite victory
She lay shaking helplessly all over
While he made for the door and took his leave
It was over soon after it had began
But that is time she will never get back
A life was altered completely that night
After just one midnight attack
Never had she loved a man before
And now she knows she never will
For even if her heart tried to mend
These are scars that will never heal

That very night she took her pain to heart
And stabbed it with a pointed knife
For who could ever learn to live
An eternally empty life
