That Night...

Don’t worry about it
I was so wasted that night
I don’t even remember
It’s fine...
I just wanted to know
What your mouth felt like
It’s okay, we were drunk
It’s okay, as long as no one finds out
Don’t worry
It’s okay. It’s okay. It’s okay.
But– It’s not okay!
None of this was okay
I’m not okay
Your hands on me was not okay
Being inside me was not okay
Trying to force me, was not okay
You can’t use me
Take me against my will
I’m not some fuck doll in a sex shop
I’m flesh, blood and bone
My scars run deep
They’re fucking invisible
Do you see me?
Can you see that i’m a human being
And that I’m still healing.

You take a bite Mouth overflowing with juices Drip, drip, dripping Down the length of your beard Droplets cling

A sharp breath slips through my te… Falling to the ground in a heap; One touch and i’ll turn to Amber, A golden statue. Gleaming skin and glittery hair.

My anxiety (Not a poem)

Ever since we met, you’ve been a weight on my shoulders that always held me down making even the smallest things nearly impossible. You took some of my most memorable moments and ruine...
