she said my words tore away at her.
i wasn't looking at her eyes at the time.
she made me look.
pain!, yes
she wanted me to see her pain.
instead,
i imagined her naked.
imagined her left hand moving towards her nipple.
her right hand she said
held her face turned around.
because,
that is how i made her feel.
i pretended to listen.
i didn't hold her.
i didn't speak.
still,
i had sex with her.
afterward she looked sad
and i felt something.
i think.
no.
i'm sure.
it made me feel
i felt
as if i had violated her.
i felt
like i should say sorry.
I didn't,
the sex was good.
