The Despicable Act

One faithful afternoon, 
He asked you out
Said he wanted to you to be his girlfriend
You didn't give him a definite answer
You told him you would think about it

Days passed, weeks rolled by
He was waiting for your answer
He called you to check on you
You said you were not doing fine
Because you had some issues

He promised to assist you, and he did
Then you decided to use him as your ATM
With every passing day
You kept making demands
And he kept meeting your demands

He thought it was your way of saying "Yes"
To his proposal for you to be his girlfriend
So he kept treating you special
And you kept extorting him
Without any form of hesitation

He invited you over to his place
And you kept giving him excuse
Until one faithful evening
You needed some money urgently
And he was very busy at home

You decided to go over to his house
He was excited about your visit
He tried to give you a kiss
But you pushed him away
He became confused with your action

So he asked if you were not his girlfriend
You told him plainly to his face
That you are not and cannot be
He realized he was just a magga
and that his thoughts was just a mirage

He became furious
And out of anger, he forced himself on you
You went home crying and cursing
He sat on the floor in his room
Weeping, realizing that he never had you

Please don't misunderstand me
This isn't me supporting or justifying
The abominable acts of raping
This is me saying to everyone
"Let's put our house in order"

"Say no to rape"

Heavy. It is hard to see the light at times when you have been in darkness for too long. Your words and writing are deep and can show readers a glimpse of reality for some. Having feelings for someone who does not have equal or more for you is hard to face. Writing this you have the opportunity to change things around for others. This may help in a way not clear to people who don't understand all the issues in this type of a relationship. Strong points and clearly a time of discovery about life.

well spoken Debby, the world we live in is rusty, things won't always go smoothly unless we know where to apply the oil and grease
