Analysis of VICTIM BLAME
how many times will they question me
"is that what you're going to wear?"
a body; to Them, that's me
purity: the liar
its all that i am; will ever be
if the cloth were ever to tear
cups droping: slipping Her tea
go His eyes: need to stare
soon shriveled down, i became Your weed
strangled and hidden, stole my air
the light: no longer to see
now You no longer care.
HE HURT HER! He hurt her, don't you see?
"the blame of course, still’s hers to share!"
now, she fakes that 'purity'
His hands still on her bare
"but what did she wear?"

About this poem
this is not about me specifically. I thought writing this might help people see the other side of these issues. It's never the victim's fault. This piece was not intended to offend or hurt anyone.
