Her Survival

He tried so hard.
I couldn't wrap my mind around it.
I screamed in my head when my body fought with my muscles.

"Move!"
"Punch him!"

I couldn't do anything.

I froze.

"Why won't you kiss me? God! You're just like my ex! Why?!"

He was more frustrated that I couldnt answer.
I kept my eyes tamed on him, I followed where they looked, I didn't like it.
I was trapped.
I'm not claustrophobic but that night I was.
The weight of his hands, on my waist, my shoulders, the sides of my arms, my chin to make me look at him, worst of all: His frustrated lust.

And how did I end up here?
I questioned myself for two years whilst trying to scrub the weight of his hands on me.
