The Shadow, part 2, the Rape

-1 As she wallows down the streets,
Remorcing her own sufferings,
as she looks back on the day,
the more she now realizes,
-5 the more pain she relishes,
the pain she finally understands,
that even though her mother was dead,
she was still there.
-9 That day, the sun shone over the Big M,
where the toilet paper blew in the wind,
where it was casted on that night,
the night of her biggest mistake.
-17 She wore a long skirt,
with a Bartender's corset,
her face be clean,
but, her father tainted.
-21 for the Daughter to go out,
the Guardian had to be sober,
for if they went to an unsafe street,
the Guardian could direct her home.
-25 but, this night was different,
papa's expression all beyond sober,
his paper bag drenched in a stench,
while he drank in sips.
-29 She didn't worry about herself for a second,
in fact, she anticipated this moment,
for now, she could go without her father,
and meet up with Benny.
-33 He was her boyfriend,
who came from America with his pa,
His pa being, in some degree,
An anti feminist.
-37 But, this apple from the tree was different,
he cared about her,
he hung out when he could,
And planned to meet up with her when he couldn't.
-41 They had planned for this night,
since Pprimra had called before she left,
before leaving the house with her father,
who now swirved in the streets.
-45 She led her father to a bench,
where he laid down his paper bag,
down by the sidewalk next to the Pigeons,
Cooing gaily at their new friend.
-49 "Wait here for me, pa." she warned,
"Whah... Shlouke, I am your father! come bacsh!" was all he could utter,
before he gave a delightful chuckle,
and passed out on the bench.
-53 She started to leave, but, turned back around,
taking off her long cloak, a dark black Vigour,
as she set it on him and tucked it in around him,
"Dear lord," She praid," Please don't let a cop see him tonight."
-57 She started down the street,
looking at a rat going down the alley,
she started to follow it,
amused with its skinny tail, straight into an alley.
-61 she noticed where she was,
the high, concrete buildings on Both sides,
dark, horrid walls surrounding her
as if the walls were closing in.
-65 Cunfusion, Nausea,
uncalled thoughts entered and left her mind,
stunning her, her head throbbing,
and she turned to leave this confusion.
-69 But, someone was there,
shoulder's slim and meak,
his arms be wiry,
and his head be angled and sharp.
-73 he had a tattered shirt,
with a brown bag of Bigman Beer,
with the same stinch as her father's,
but this man was no father.
-77 "Well, you look nice and warm there, luv." He snickered,
"now, don't worry. I'm not going to hurt you."
He leaned in closer, being a pace away,
"I have something for you."
-81 She didnt want to know what it was,
being trapped in the end of an alley,
all that she wanted to do was run away,
and be trapped not in an alley, but in Benny's arms,
-85 But, it was too late, for the man pounced on her,
apparently strong for his looks,
he pushed her onto a wall,
and leaned his face close to hers.
"Let me go." She sneered through her teeth,
"Oh, now don't be harsh now, luv." he hissed,
springing out a pocketknife,
"I'm not going to hurt you, not yet."
-93 Holding up the knife, he had a hand open,
he unzipped his pants, pulled them down,
pulled up her skirt,
and leaned against her.
-97 5 minutes later,
she was on the ground, her head by the tin trash cans,
whimpering in sorrow,
the man still on top of her.
-101She was afraid it would never end,
when she heard a familiar voice,
she heard him mumbling about how she was late,
how roses might as well have died.
-105 "Benny! Help. Help!" Was all she could scream,
Before the man covered her mouth,
But, it was too late,
he was already there.
-109 Benny jumped on the man,
punching and cursing, swearing on his life,
Pprimra crawled away, curling into a ball in the corner,
afraid to stay, afraid to leave, afraid to move.
-113Finally, after the man left,
Pprimra felt a hand on her shoulder,
she puled up her skirt,
and accepted his warm coat with gratitude.

-117"It's going to happen, you know," He finally said,
as they crossed the bridge,
"Who do you want it to be, him... or me?"
"You know it's you," She whimpered,
-121 the question was easily answered,
allow the man's semen to seep in,
or take a chance with Benny,
and have a father for her Child. -124
