You saw her from afar

You saw her from afar, you liked her

Not her attitude, charisma nor aura

Just her nudity, her body you wanted to see bare

You had her against her will, never again would she be normal

You saw her from afar, you longed after her

A five minutes pleasure, was all she was to you

With each thrust, you drilled in her a scar

What her crime was, she had no clue

You saw her from afar, you lusted after her

You ripped her clothes along with her dignity and pride

Therapists after therapists, she was asked to be strong, but courage from her, was long gone

Daily she prayed, pleading to the heavens to take her life

You saw her from afar, you wanted her

Painting her view of the world in shades of pain

Apprehensive she became, always looking behind her

Trying to flee from the demons produced by your immoral gain

You saw her from afar, you craved her

With dreams shattered and life’s essence, lost; an exit, she sought

From pain and grief she fled, unable to face everyone’s pitiful stare

Out of life’s ill fate she attempted an escape, never to fulfil all that she dreamt.

You saw her from afar, you yearned for her

From her scars she found strength, her pains became her mentor

Bearing each one like a medal, a victory from life’s lessons learnt

Wielding with grace, hope which fuelled her strength

You saw her from afar, you ached for her

The spark returned in her eyes, fiercer than ever and her will stronger than before

Her dreams she fulfilled, adding more to the list

For she was a queen, a victor and survivor
