Here I Stand...

Here I stand before you...
Broken, helpless and wounded...
Naked because I was stripped of my womanhood...

Told to lay still and silent, while staring at a hollow point... 
The whole time my eyes closed, trying not to breathe...
Sweat ran off him on to my face as if I were crying... 
Feeling the cold steel press into my chest, I kept them shut... 

After it was over I was tossed away like trash... 
I trusted the touch of no human being... 
But here I stand... 

Arms slowly opening waiting for you to save me... 
Where could you be?
Where are you? 

Here I stand before you stripped...
Of my innocence, my dignity, and power...
Only to see a flash of your face as my nightmare... 
You were suppose to be my protector... 

In reality you were my abuser...
So here I stand alone, cold and broken...
But yet here I stand...
