Gone

Innocence is something I was never able to have.
Hope is something I was never given.
Love is something I never felt.
I was stripped of my dignity, of my confidence, and of my happiness.
When he came, he stripped away everything.
He stripped away things I never knew I even had left.
Now, my eyes remain closed.
Now, my body is covered head to toe.
Now, my heart is shrunken and black.
Now, I can never go back.
