Inktober 2018 - Day 13 - guarded


i had once left some dark passages
of my mind unguarded
not knowing they will be
broken into by a stranger one day
he raided on my dark secrets
recreated them on my body, again
without my consent
and left me in disarray

his touch was not gentle this time
his kiss didn't smell of love

i shouldn't have trusted him that day
as the scars that he left on me
i now can't get rid of

i picked up a razor and drew
vertical lines along my veins
the only sane thing i could think of
to ease, rather, erase my constant pain

death is not the answer
as many of you would say
but the guarded temple
of my body has been
repeatedly violated
and i had a
huge price to pay

goodbye
