Wounded and Bleeding

I’m wounded and bleeding
Not from my flesh
But from my soul
Cut me deep and split me wide open
Just to play with me
But you call me crazy
I’m exposed
You’ve exposed me
and my most vulnerable parts   
You poke and prode at my most insecure and tender parts
And tell sweet little lies to my delicate and already broken heart
Just to get a little taste of what’s in between my soft supple thighs
Master of deception
Using your vile tongue and intention and slinging it like the ultimate weapon
You wanted to see all of me
Just to say you saw it
Watch the universe inside me spill out on the floor
With nothing there to catch it
-Empty-
You’re Alexander the Great
And I was another piece of land to divide
And conquest to conquer
A land to lay shame upon and dishonor
Land used up and forsaken
Not a garden nourished
Cut my stems and one by one
You plucked my pretty petals
Depleted
You took all of me
-Taken-
Welcome to the toxic wastelands
Where I now forever stand guarded with nothing left inside me to offer
Looted my mind, body, and spirit
And filled your ego
You’re the Grim reaper
The soul snatcher
Leaving every woman you come across in a state of spiritual disaster
-Confusion-
Remember men you don’t have to only put  your hands on women to abuse them
It happens every time you open them up and use them with no intention of ever really forever choosing them
Realize this
One day
You may have a daughter
And she will be the lamb put out to men like you for slaughter
