Butterfly Wings Fallen

iPod blasting
Jamming to some love songs
Toni Braxton, Vivian Green
She was in a lovey dovey type of mood
On her way to see her man
It's been a while and she wanted to be extra attentive to his needs
He complained about not receiving her all
She didn't want to admit nor realize she'd fallen in love
She was ready now
She got on the D train at 205th Street
She knew where she had to be was the last car
It was empty
She wanted to be alone to prepare anyway
It was her first time making love to her man
And she was excited and overcome with nervousness
Right when the doors closed a man jumped in
Normally a man would smile since he caught his destined train
He did not
She didn't look his way since she didn't want to open a window
But he sat next to her
She became fear
Shaking slightly, she still lipsynced her songs
She pretended to get ready as if she was getting off the next stop
He stopped her from getting up
Screaming and crying, she began to fight for her life
He overpowered her greatly
No one heard her
She was too far away from others
He ripped her clothes off
Then as he entered her, Final Hour played
As Vivian cooed in her ear, she was dying inside
The train was going express from 125th to 59th Street
So there was an eight minute window of opportunity to do his deed
He was so rough
Her blood fell to the train floor
He left at 59th Street and as a group of young drunk peope come onto the train,
They sobered up to help her
They went with her all the way to her destination at 74th & Roosevelt on the 7 train
She left the station with developed bruises
A torn vagina and an aching anus
Her man seen her and was livid
He tried to get her to talk but no answer
No words could say what she felt inside
He called the ambulance
And she finally spoke
She was fighting with him now
Gave in eventually and went
She was hooked up to an iv and spent the night there
The police questioned her man
They didn't believe him
He was arrested
She cried herself to sleep
She was so alone
The only person who was there, who she loved is now gone
Months later, he was on trial
Her mother spoke so negatively of him
She was sadly mistaken
Luckily the only thing that could save him is the dna
But she didn't want to get tested
She was so over the entire situation
During the trial, she saw how it was going
Black man accused to raping his girlfriend was all over the news
She couldn't step up
To save the man she loves
She went to therapy
It took two weeks to finally get her to discuss that day
She told the therapist what she seen during hypnotherapy
Her therapist told her to get tested
She finally did
It was almost too late
But they needed her testimony
On the stand, she was asked what happened the night she was raped
She replied, "My wings were broken"
And she gave the judge the test results
Even though it happened a long time ago,
She isn't fully healed
But her husband won't give up
It's hard to when a once beautiful butterfly is almost the cocoon she borned from
Butterfly, Fallen

Bonding

I have been through most things that a young woman shouldn't I'm not going to disclose my age nor what I've been through Not what I'm focusing on My focus is on the bonds I've made during my summer time on this Earth I have a new set of people I call my best friends from before Yeah it's cliche to have best friends but these are truly the people who are the best at being a good friend If you can't understand or comprehend, You've never had a best friend I have had an almost lifelong friend but we aren't close as we used to be Grew up and apart It happens I still keep in touch But those who have grew up and grown with me, This is for you... I love each and every one of you guys It's been a long road I've had my immature moments Stubbornness Ignorant, in the emotional sense But I wouldn't have made it through without your support Each one of you loves me and doesn't want to show it It's been a hard road but don...

Things are not as they were The saying goes the only constant in life is change I usually embrace it with open arms I'm not so sure now I'm tired of loved ones slipping through my hands as easily as cool water from the faucet  I'm tired of being financially drained  Living as if I have the bare minimum to survive  I'm tired of holding my head high when others strive to beat me until I'm low I'm tired of fleeting love as I go chasing sunsets I'm tired of my body moving slower than it once did Nights don't give me the solice I need anymore  Drinking feels forced  I avoid medicine to avoid the high Sober and woke It's hard being awake all the time I'm too aware to fall asleep Everyday is a constant battle on what I should do and how I feel War waned and hungry for more from this life, I have grown up I'm able to sustain the illusion of completion While walking around as hollow as the air balloon  Have ...

Learned from the Best

I feel disrespected How would you feel if I sat up and talked with my ex on your phone? Just the principle alone in itself upsets me Your word has no value You said you wouldn't talk to her nor communicate again It sounded clear to me No contact, no problem And I believed you Now since you did, your words are lies that have yet to come true My word had no value I expressed how I felt When I feel different things Time and time again You've dismissed me as I was a joke A fool You were right I am a fool to believe you I constantly tell you upfront what's on my mind Keep you updated You neglected to not take me for granted I am just a tool I am a tool with many uses I feed you from nothing I clean you with my last I speak knowledge you pick and choose from I make you laugh and entertain you I copulate I use my hands to make you feel wanted But what I have left is a broken heart and an unsure vagina The words I've spoken from my heart was honest ...
