A night to forget

poem by: Shaffiate Ishmael
Written on Jan 30, 2018


She thought that he was charming
Her friends say that he is so cute
But little did they know
That It was the furthest from the truth

Her mother buys her a new dress
She was excited because he asks her to the prom
But during the fun and the laughter
He spikes her punch with rum

She wakes up in his BMW
And saw him smiling smoking a cigarette
A morning she will remember
A night to forget

She can’t stop crying
She lay awake on her bed
Feeling hurt and disgusted
Suicide thoughts come to her head

Her mother notices the changes
But she doesn’t know what is wrong
She uses to sing in the church choir
But the preacher says that she stops coming around

She hugs her mother last night
Then walks out the door alone
And it’s now early morning
And she still didn’t come back home

She jumps off the Brooklyn Bridge
They pull her body soaking wet
She couldn’t live with the memories
Of the night she can’t forget

It’s sad that her young life was ruin
By the evil that lays hidden behind a smile
Her mother’s whole world is shattered
Never knowing what happen to her only child

This is happening to innocent girls
All over the world
Taking away their dignity and pride
Sucking the life out of their very soul

Another girl sits under a tree
Reading a book of poetry by kaz ishmael
He said “excuse me, but I just got to say
That you have such a beautiful smile

And he sits down next to her 
And started to put on his fake charm
But little that she knows
His only intentions are to cause her harm

She brushes her long blond hair
Kiss her mom and takes off the bedroom lights
His BMW is parked waiting outside
They are going to movies tonight
