can you hear me?

don't you hear me,
when I beg for you to stop?

when I beg for your hands to stop touching every part of me.
but you don't listen.

maybe it only sounds like a whisper to him.
so I said it louder and louder,
but not once had he stopped.
not even a flinch in his features.
I knew it wasn't a whisper seeping through my lips.
it had been screams.
but he still didn't hear me.

I pried and pried.
cried and cried,
louder and louder.
but it wasn't enough.

his penis had only gotten harsher going inside me.
in and out.

I concentrated my thoughts on the ceiling.
my eyes had closed,
but only until his fingers forced me to look at him.

he told me I had found pleasure in it but neither me or my body did.
it was only from the moans he had pushed out of me.
only a natural thing for a woman to do.

but it didn't feel natural...
not to be so physically tortured like this.

my body ached,
my head too.

I knew it wasn't natural being forced into this.
it just wasn't.
I wasn't that naïve.

but what could I do?

I always asked myself that.
every time I had told myself I had done everything I could.
after all,
I screamed from the top of my lungs rubbing my throat dry.
I can still taste his hand over my lips.
I cried until none were left in my body,
only dry wines left.

but didn't you hear me?

didn't you hear me saying your name in a beg?
begging and begging,
crying and crying,
for you to just stop.
just stop.

didn't you hear me?
