He Just Kept Pushing - A Poem about Feeling Violated and How to Make Him Stop
Dark feelings
Don't Push Me
He just kept pushing
And pushing
And her mind screamed against it
As her mouth had
Many times before.
His words, his caresses
From the past
Had led them to this moment
And how her lips were mute
As numb as her mind.
She supposed she had weakened—
At least somewhat—
As his endless pursuit of her
Seemed to pull from her
Her strength, her stance.
Now in only moments she felt
Ripped apart
As he turned abruptly from her
And she lay stunned
Turning away to one side.
His breathing was even
Her own—ragged
She choked back rising nausea
And hated them both
As hot tears quietly escaped her.
Curled up in a ball
She felt cold
And in shame felt in some way
This had to be
A reflection of herself.
