A soul without melody


Your skeleton hands reached for my lifeless body

I had no form of protection

No armor to fight against you

But you knew that

You knew my innocence was in danger

But you continued

your lust was far greater than your morality

You tried to find your need for love in me

I was oblivious to what was occurring

You told me this was a game

You told me this was hide and seek

Your hands gripped me trying to find a melody

But my body gave no rhythm

So you grinded harder

You swayed your hands thinking my body was the one moving

But really, what was moving was my soul

My soul was detaching itself from me

I sang for it to come back

It was the only thing i had left to keep in this moment

But you mistook it for me enjoying what you were doing

My strings broken

My soul has no melody

Your hands took the only melody i had in me

Now i can’t find the rhythm in me

The rhythm of innocence

The rhythm of freedom

There’s no rhythm in me

I'm trying to find for the melody he took from me

A beat

A sound

Its voice

But all i can hear are the broken voices

The murmurs of my conscience blaming me

Broken strings

Broken beats

I hear it all when he passes by

It haunts me

It takes me back to the time when the melody did not want him

But his mind wanted it

His mind fought for it

Even though mine was trying to fight against it

The melody cries for me

My soul cries for me

But i can't have it

Not anymore

I don't want to remember the melody that did not sing for him

So i will be stuck without a melody or rhythm

But i will create a new melody

A melody that he has not strung

A soul he cannot remove from me
