RAVISH

She woke up beaming.

As the bright light entered her room.

She yawned while she hoped for a good day.

 

Little did she know,

It would be her last.

 

She stepped out of her house.

Oblivious.

She felt a sudden harsh grip.

She fought but couldn’t fight

He was too strong.

 

He began to move inside her.

Stabbing her young beautiful heart.

Why her? She wondered,

As tears streamed down her face.

 

She lay on the cold hard ground.

Bruised.

Lifeless.
