Didn't You Hear Me? I said but one word, over and over again. Just "No," simply put, apparently even more simply forgotten. Your grip about me, off-balance, suddenly all of this, my world, it sways and you, meeting each word with a thrust, a hand uprooting me. I yell, you laugh, I bargain, you smirk and unbutton my pants, but if you think it's over - it's not. I know it was arrogance alone that made me need to grind against the grain of my own spirit: "I've got my period, we can't!" I excuse you - god more fool me, vain creature that I am: "You're drunk, we shouldn't." I felt you curl your thumb about my tender throat, and then, oh then, my strength was moot. "I can't, just can't. I'm not this type, I leave tomorrow, you know?" As if you care. My focus lost in the very moment I should have remembered exactly the steps to this dance macabre. If only I had stayed one step ahead, or even just - "You're a fucking dyke aren't you?!" No, that I'm not but that you know. "So why won't you...?" Perhaps because - Wait, was I somehow not clear? No, how silly, I forgot: I am just a rag doll pinned and pressed and you are pleased, so very satisfied as you force my breath still deeper underground. It's not worth it, not now, to do anything but gasp and clamp down hard as I hear you laughing, grunting, watching with your deep, dead eyes. You drain me, slamming my brain into my skull, there's a penny on my tongue. I become merely a pain in the neck, and as you say, a bitch. Oh, that's right, I dared to make a fuss, and worse, refuse. Heaven forbid you should ever get anything less than full service - So where's my goddamn tip? Now, you tell me, you held the key, so what was I to do? Is there some magic alchemy I might perform wherein this bruise might show not my weak will but yours?
