Brutality

Glass bottles overflowed with brutality.
Tainting the innocence between her legs.
Impious.
Human trash pile.
Perforate her insides.
Serving pretty pink flesh to the men's table.

Slumped atop red and black Harleys.
Hiding under stale leather cuts.
Unrighteous.
Vile.
Child Predators.
Flaunting a 1% label.  

Nothingness

She embraced anything that made her numb.
She longed for nothingness.
For, it was the only time she felt content.
At peace with herself.
One within her pain.
Unaware of who was entering her.
Desolate to the stranger filling her insides.
Dis Encapsulated.
