His hands continued to travel from my neck, down to my hips, and then to the waistline of my shorts. No. I tell him I am not in the mood. He flips me on my stomach, his weight crushing me, suffocating me. No. I tell him I am tired. His fingers pull down my neon pink Under Armour shorts just below the crease where my thighs meet my butt. “No.” I feel him inside of me. “C’mo...

I Didn’t Mean To Kill Her

I didn’t mean to kill her.

She was just in the wrong place at the wrong time,

And still my mind thuds with pain and regret,

Why with our words do we kill the earth?


With beautiful breath blessed to us

Lives are destroyed with lies

And with hatred and darkness

And more lies.

Why do we curse the light?

Trust

I don’t trust you,

I don’t trust you after you proved to me countless times I never meant a damn thing to you.


I don’t trust you,

I don’t trust you after you kept me tightly gripped in your hand as I gave and gave and gave everything I could to be, what?

An object, you constantly took from. And never let me make my own choices and breathe.


I don’t trust you, and I never trusted you, constant r...
