It Was Stolen

someone took something from me that wasn’t theirs i did not let them take it and now i can never get it back they held me down and took it from me my hands behind my head tears running down my cheeks it’s not yours i say yet they don’t hear me give it back i say yet they ignore my whimpers why won’t they leave it alone? their hands clutched around it i started to question whether it was mine in first place they did it with ease walking off without an ounce of guilt their footsteps keep me up at night wondering whether they will come back i live in fear scared that someone might get too close i didn’t tell them no but are tears and screaming not enough? i still feel their hands on my delicate skin i still feel their breath on my fragile neck will they ever go away?
