Just A Girl

From time to time,

I can still feel your hands

Grappling around my neck.

As you hold me down and assert

Your dominance,

You whisper softly into my ear,

“Baby.”

This is no way to treat the girl you call baby.

I whimper out a muffled

“No”

And you submerge my being into

Your sheets like cold

Crashing waves,

Drowning out my cries and pleas

As

You leave me gasping for air

While you fornicate my limp, lifeless body.

From time to time,

I can still feel your hand

Thrashing against my cheek.

As you call me a whore,

You remind me of how soft my cheek is.

If my cheek is so soft

Why don’t you adorn it?

Tears fall down my face

Like raindrops

And you clear the salty rain with the whole

Of your palm,

Subtlety reminding me that I am

Your lover

But with a place.

From time to time

I can still feel the bruises you left my heart.

They manifest as ghosts

visiting me at night,

Hiding under my bed

As they wait for slumber’s arrival

So that they may haunt me.

They are a constant reminder of you

And how you used to tell me

No one would ever love me the way you did.

From to time,

I still feel your presence

Except this time,

I feel you fading away,

With your grip loosening from

around my neck,

Your hands leaving my cheek

And the bruises turned ghosts

Finally giving me the bed peace

I need.

Once upon you told me that no one would ever love me

The way you did

And you were right.

Someone will love me

From time to time,

I can still feel your hands

Grappling around my neck.

As you hold me down and assert

Your dominance,

You whisper softly into my ear,

“Baby.”

This is no way to treat the girl you call baby.

I whimper out a muffled

“No”

And you submerge my being into

Your sheets like cold

Crashing waves,

Drowning out my cries and pleas

As

While you fornicate my limp, lifeless body.

From time to time,

I can still feel your hand

Thrashing against my cheek.

As you call me a whore,

You remind me of how soft my cheek is.

If my cheek is so soft

Why don’t you adorn it?
