Rape's bitter Fruit

No likes yet ♦

The day I met you
I felt thrilled and nervous
I was at my best
But you raped me

So kind you were after
And I came to you for comfort
The tears that wet your shoulders
Were caused by you

Then you just went
I heard rumours of you
Getting with other girls
Why did I miss you?

Then one day, you came back
I could not get rid of you
Mixed feelings of longing
That always ended in pain

It became too much
You became part of me
In my most precious space
You trod again and again

I was left bitter-sweet
To make my own
Not in your image
And yet so much like you

You left again
This time I was glad to see your back
But I was alone
With a bitter taste in my mouth

Needy
As needy as I was
And vunerable
I still hoped for a new beginning

Two hearts beat two
Though sometimes
I wish it were one
Your work must be undone
