TRIGGER WARNING : rape

   "Yeah she was begging for it."

"Rape? She said yes."

"She wanted it."

"Maybe she didn't say yes, but she didn't say no either."

   Words spin in her head,

   Slut, whore, it wasn't rape, you didn't say no.

   She's falling, grappling to come back to her body.

   But her body's tainted, nobody would want somebody who's been touched... like that.

   She sees his face, his hands, everywhere. Oh god his hands.

   "Rape, it wasn't rape."

   "Come on, you didn't say no."

   "I heard you give a good time."

   "Just a little touch."

   No. God. No.

   "Are you hungry?"

   No.

   "Want to go shopping?"

   No.

   She says no to everything now, praying and hoping, it'll make up for the amount of no's she wanted to scream that night.

   If only he'd have said.

   "Do you want this."

   "Do you want to have sex with me."

   She'd scream no, over and over again.

   No, no, no, no, no.
