Consent

The touch of your love eclipsed my face

The sound of skin on skin reverberated throughout the room

I said no

You silenced me with your hand on my throat

I cried

You shut my eyes with the force of your fist

I was not ready to give what you took

Consciousness absent

My non protest acquiescence

I often wonder, was my unresponsive body pleasing

How did my lips taste when they didn’t kiss you back
