my x girlfriend (from long distance, not inconsolable differences) got raped last week. She feels just like you, a gutter. used and abused. the words are strong, and the pain is real in the poem. You will overcome.

I felt moved by this, like I knew someone that was raped.

who?

am?

I?

without him.

is the part that I loved. some parts I felt didn't perfectly fit but this was very passionate, I loved the metaphors.

This means a whole lot to me. It just shows the pain of being in something that you can never be out of, caused by someone else, but always with you, and only you. Horrifying and hard to describe well and poeticly..but you did it.

Its like a thoughtthat your ashamed ofbut will forever be in the back of your you have a meaning?A concept?A metaphor?To help heal me.

Extremely powerful. Favorite stories.

Amazing.

Nice I really like it. Maybe one day you will be free of this for meI am trying to get rid of a few as well.

Such things in life can break a spirit, and make a poem perfect.
"Do you have a meaning?/A concept?/A metaphor/To help me?" is excellent, wonderful use of language.
This is such an intense piece of work, it makes me want to ring my girlfriend right now and tell her I love her. I think I will.

Wow!

This is so powerful...I love it!

I like the imagery and the details. It makes the reader feel the anguish.
