I Stay Silent

I fear it. 

I shake when his lips 

descend down my neck.

I tremble when his hands

travel down my blouse.

I fear it.


I hate it.

I blink away tears as his voice

moans and grunts down my ear.

I fight back the scream as his fingers

journey under my skirt.

I hate it.


He takes me,

eyes unseeing, he's unaware.

He uses me,

body tense, in this love affair.

He loves me.


I stay silent.

Very powerful emotional poem, I find myself upset for the character portrade, very well written.
