Come, my maiden fair
Come back to me
With the speed of a prayer
How I yearn for thee
For what was lost
Never can be regained
Too high was the cost
So much shame retained
🗡️
Her innocence robbed
An adoration fobbed
🗡️
Raven locks
Alabaster skin
One chime by the clocks
He took without askin’
For the pure, he had a thirst
She ran, but he was too fast
She wasn’t his first
She might not be his last
🗡️
Gentle woman
Rutting man
Eyes of moss
Dimpled chin
She mourned her loss
She wasn’t ready to give in
Lying still as the dead
She allowed him his way
With teary eyes, she turned her head
And took her mind far, far away
🗡️
Youth shaken
Brutishly taken
🗡️
How I miss my maiden fair
Her virtuous soul nigh to me
Her spirit ripped, leaving her bare
A light, now dimmed for none to see
Pulls herself together, rises up
A victim she’ll never be
Choosing her was a mix-up
For she stings like a Queen bee
🗡️
Woman scorned
Cock sworned
Playing I-spy
Biding her time
She watched him lie
No one suspected his crime
The more she saw
The more she fumed
It was time to become the law
This slick Casanova was doomed
🗡️
Vengeful lass
Doomed ass
🗡️
Making her plan
Taking back some of what he took
She was taking a stand
He’d have no one else to rook
She’d end this bad dream
With the rising of the moon
Maybe then she could shake and scream
More with fury than the voice of a loon
🗡️
Gathered courage
Pent-up rage
Rose necklace
Bloody candlestick
She came up and struck him in the face
She’d teach him where to put his dick
As he fell, she threw the candle down
Tearing the choker of thorns from her throat
She tossed them to land on his crown
Sweet sixteen, a prisoner to no old goat
🗡️
Crime of passion
Judge with compassion
🗡️
He lay dead
Freeing her at last
She went to her bed
To dream of a happier past
Before the masculine beast
Took what wasn’t his to take
Sleeping peacefully ‘til the sun rises in the east
Rising, her fate to make
🗡️
Badass Queen
Warrior Colleen
Now, even as I weep
For she who the lass once was
Late at night, before I can sleep
Deeply wishing for the pain to pass
Who the maid has become, I now wonder
For rising amidst the ashes from the flame
A fiery Phoenix, full of lightning and thunder
During my night rebirth, I shed the shame
🗡️
Forced Rebirth
Festering-like Mirth
🗡️
For when he took her chastity
Not caring about the toll on my sanity
Tearing out her virginity
With little regard to my fragility
He broke her protective shell
Only for me to come out reborn
Standing before my mirror, she wishes me well
I protect her secret as if it were a newborn

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

oh this is incredible. a whole ride i just went on reading this, carried by the masterfully crafted structure and rhythm. the short couplets really are the cherry on top. nailed an incredibly heavy concept and tricky style. well done, mother dear! 💙
I thought she was going to castrate him, but death is more effective (or could have done both. People like that must suffer). A fantastic poem of rising strength, and a sweet vengeance. Loved it, MC! 💛 Also, "Vengeful lass Doomed ass" The two greatest rhyming lines in history.
Oh I'm so happy she gave him what he deserved! Girl power! Loved your poem!
Love this! "A fiery Phoenix, full of lightning and thunder" gave me chills.
WOW! Stunning work Mother!
Oh wow, Sharon, it's a whole mini-movie right here! I enjoyed it very much.
