Undress Me

My
lover;
my loving
gentle giant;
engaged for eight months,
then we became transformed.
Married to my one true love,
until the day his veil wore thin;
he would undress me, then abuse me,
descending upon me in vicious rage
as I kicked and screamed in terrorized fear;
his unlawful act of carnal hate
overlooked by society;
hid in the vows of marriage;
the bride not heard or seen
until it's too late;
one more victim;
spousal rape;
the bride
died.
