Abandoning My Rejections

your touch burns me

i did not ask for it
nor did i want it

yet you
did not have a care
for my rejections
and my countless
begging
for you to stop

i did not know
that behind your kindly friendship
lay something sinister
holding me against my will
to you

your obsession
with my body
scares me
it puts me
on every edge
that could exist

because of you
i look behind
my shoulder
constantly

for every man
who wants to befriend me
could be the same
will use me
as you did

you walked away
scot free
unbothered
unaffected
whole

i can no longer
stand
the way that my body
looks
i can no longer
love
the way that i am

you broke me
i despise you.

this is.. it's different to my previous works. it's a poem. but i wonder what you think of it, and how it resonated with you. let me know

aria.
