you hurt me, your boyish charm
your tough good looks,
your strong shoulders
that made me feel secure and safe.
your kisses held me captive
and though you were never outwardly
cruel,
you were cruel in the way you handled me,
careless and haphazardly
forgetting i was smaller than you
weaker,
unable to put up my fight.
crowding my life to fit your
passions
for smart, impatient sex
you would, unknowingly
push me out of bed
not remembering i was
sleeping there
but most cruel, in the way you lost me
unapologetically
without even a fight
