No
An unmeasurable amount of thought
has gone into the analyzing of my being

And why it was my fault that night
I decided to provoke you to such animosity

That I was greeted to a storm of fingers
ripping the cloth from my chest and falling like petals

On your bedroom floor I whimpered, crushed
under the heavy weight of you, Lover

As the thing I knew not belonged to me, but to you
and "No" was the last word I had ever spoke again.
Very old poem.
Don't contact me about this, as it is a very touchy subject. It has taken me a lot of courage and strength to get over this event and even more so to move on and grow from it, and hopefully turn tragedy into a work of art.

I broke down Thursday
And the wind was cracking loud and
beating my spine into an
uncomfortable submission

I broke down
and all the graves were upside-down
letting the maggots see the sunlight
and the wood was damp and splintered

I broke down
and all the rocks became toadstools
and I sat and I knitted a scarf with
all my worries weaved in with the wool

I broke down Thursday
and the car wouldn’t start and my eyelids were
cinder blocks and the colors started leaking
as I realized my battery was dead
A re-telling of a panic attack

— The End —
