Apparently my “no” Was not as strong as your “I want to”. Why can you push And push And push Yourself onto me But if I try to Kiss you gently on the neck You tell me you’re “Not in the mood” And push me away When I gently stroke your cheek. So why are you allowed to say You don’t want to And force me away, But when I try to Tell you no- because Having you inside of me Feels like knives On the inside- You tell me “It will be quick” And “I’ll try not to hurt you” And that is the end Of that conversation.
