i love you so much
you are so special
i have never felt this before
you make me feel
you have taught me how to feel
(no words, silence at 4am, staring at the ceiling while a man sleeps)
i am so sorry
i’m sorry
but i know i won’t hurt you again
i would never hurt you
you have to trust me
you can trust me
why do you hate men
you read too many books
that’s not fair
(no words, silence as a chest repeatedly slams into my face)
i promise this won’t happen again
i don’t know why i did it
you’re so amazing
you’re strong
i didn’t mean to
i love you so much
wow you’re so sexy
you’re strong
i’m not a rapist
i would never do that
how could anyone do that
you made me feel like i’m a rapist when you told me to stop
i would never do that to you
(no words, silence as my head is pushed downwards)
i’m sorry i pushed you
i’m sorry i did that
i don’t know why
i don’t know why
i don’t know why

they never know why
none of them ever fucking know why

monsters

a poem to calm your anxious thoughts, some words to soothe your troubled mind. you have survived everything. you are still here. 

everything is lovely
don’t you worry,
don’t you worry.

I know you can
see the monsters,
my darling.

but I promise,
that they will not hurt us,
I promise you.

it’s not bloody wounds
that you see on
your sacred thighs,

it’s not acid
that you feel bubbling
in your throat.

I promise,
my darling,
that it will all turn to gold

if you can
just hang in long enough
to see it transform.

kindness is queen,
so treat your own heart
with sweet compassion.

the rest will follow,
the rest will follow.
