The Pain of the Marital Rape Victim

25 June 2022

64 Viewed 64

Sobbing day and night

In the corner of the bedroom, 

Hiding her face behind her palms

As a veil of protection- 

Wearing the robe of bruises and scars

Fears the enduring bride. 

She yells brutally -  

She screams her throat out, 

Her fresh skin dries out of the thud, 

When being slapped on her nope! 

All the day and night 

She tends to protect her chastity, 

Putting her head down 

While being humiliated. 

How can she even voice up to anyone

Being the victim of marital rape?

Poetry of the Bleeding Tragedies is a collection of poems revolving around various spheres of the real life events, where people are starving and suffering due to various heart wrenching incidents. This includes the issues of heartbreaks, partition memories, terrorist attacks, wars, physical harassment and others. In this collection, I have tried to bind together couple of feelings of the victims and all the respective sufferers. This compilation is a reflection of bunch of melancholic emotions. I am thankful to my mother and Nehil bhaiya who helped me in successfully accomplishing this compilation. (All poems are sole ownership of Debyani Mukherjee. All rights are reserved.)
