Don’t try to play the heroine.
Too late for that now.
Just obey.

Strip off your clothes.
Hold out your wrists
for shackling.

Don’t cry,
‘The bleating of the kid
excites the tiger’.

Best not to look at them,
or at their instruments.
Keep your eyes lowered.

They’ll question you of course.
If you can answer truthfully,
then do.

Confess.
Name all your friends.
Betray your boyfriend,
mum and dad.

Forget
brave resolutions, loyalty,
even love.

Whatever you do,
don’t lie.
There won’t be much
they don’t already know:
they’ll catch you out,
and punish you –
and I mean punish!

Then they’ll begin again
at question one.
So, when they ask you
questions that you can’t answer,
or your replies
don’t satisfy them –
be sure, they won’t! –
stay quiet.

You’ll know what’s coming next:
They’ll torture you.

I won’t say how:
only
they seem to know
just what you fear so much
you cannot even bear
to think of it …

Don’t fight –
you’ll only make it worse:
just let the pain flow through you,
conquer you.

Scream!
Scream all you want.
No-one will hear you.
Nobody knows you’re here –
except your Torturers.

Let your whole body writhe and hurl,
tug at the chains,
clutch at them, grip
till your nails bleed –

Better still, bite!
(If you’re a good girl,
they might let you have
your filthy pants
to chew on!)

It won’t be long
before they’ll scarcely need to touch
your quivering skin
to start you squealing.

Your body’s
your worst enemy,
the pain
you’ll mostly cause yourself.

Quickly you’ll learn
the victim’s role.

And, little whore,
you know
they won’t just question you:
these men want more –
and it won’t just be rape!

So – I can hear them coming now –
make yourself ready,
flick back your hair –
that’s nice!

Last sip of water
as they unlock the door …

She’s all yours, boys!

You are truly a " Lyric Artist " of the highest quality. You have implanted a vision, created a scene in my mind and forgive me if I should ask for more.

Pretty dark, but very delicious, writing. You sound like you have really Been There to conjure the fear so intensely. If it's all your imagination, even more impressive. I wonder if anticipating pain and, say, rape, works on one's mind worse than the real thing. Because you imagine the very very worst.

By and large, I don't even consider myself a fan of poetry, but this is amazingly well written. The cadence approaches perfection. ;) :thumbsup:

You have the most incredible ability to paint pictures with words. Everything from the vocabulary to the cadence to the length, it reads so vividly but so naturally.

Thanks IronHawk - that's so encouraging. 
If my 'painting with words' is able to keep company with the fine artists here who paint pictures with lines and colours,
I can feel I've achieved something!

I agree with IronHawk. Perfect poetry on a difficult subject -- yet "damsel in distress" is one of the oldest themes in all art, all literature. Perhaps THE single best, most eternal, theme. And you are a master of it. Good for you, Eul!

the speaker, or the victim? I imagine myself in the victim role, and get a strange thrill from it, but 'agony' would be the operative word.

Wow! This may be the most thralling piece you have posted so far, intensively appalling and appealing at the same time. I can't decide whether she should thank him for the heads up or try to kick him in the balls for that sadistic foretelling. :-)

thanks Shiva - and others, for encouraging feedback! I think of that poem as my 'inner voice', my all-too-well-aware consciousness warning me, telling me what I must expect, as I prepare myself...

Men, beasts that we are, cannot resist your proud, helpless beauty.
Will you beg first? ...Pleading "no!" ?    That might only encourage us to ravage harder. ;-)

Nicely written.
