Pressed under a weight
Heavier than the physical mass
That holds me where I lay.
A loss of words too familiar to fight,
My silent approval handing over the dignity
That I thought was gone before
It was kissed from my body.
Distaste still lingers where I let it in,
Repulsing my core and stealing the innocence
I forgot to keep locked.
Each "yes" I whispered became a blade
That cut a gash into the lining of my stomach
Allowing blood to spill where it did not belong.
Trembling limbs that did not stiffen
At the idea of you in a place where you did not belong,
Though the feelings that emerged
Had me screaming for that knife.
My terror was hidden by the darkness I
Tried to see and show.
Instead my submission allowed for
Your entrance and theft of the untarnished virtue
Fate had allowed me to reserve.
