I said yes but I meant no
August 24, 2014
the pouring rain started smashing into the
field where we stood,
back to a tree and
his body in front of me.
The rain soaked his neck and
I felt his breath sting
my elongated throat as
his hands traced the outline of my body,
His coarse compelling fingers
dirtied my brush fire skin
when he asks me if I am
okay with this, I say yes but I mean no.
I say yes but I mean no.
he rips off my jacket like he is trying to find
what is left of me.
My lips are now cracked,
I am left with a body of wreckage.
He leaves and doesn’t look
back.
I look back.
Shame paints me broken to this name.
I give with my crying hands and he takes
and to reality
tears scratch and moan from the corners of my trembling brown eyes.
I try to breath and wet lips corner me.
The pounding of my chest is undressed.
My hair is tangled
my limbs are shaking
I lick my lips and taste the pain.
