First Dance

All my life men have told me,

"If a man rapes a girl she probably asked for it.

If a man takes advantage of a girl,

She was probably a tease."

Well men, you can say all the “probably” you want,

I was a young girl,

Only fifteen.

 

Back then I would sit in church clenching my knees,

Hiding the innocence between my thighs.

 

I longed for that late night Cinamax moment to arrive

When I could taste and moan

Like the forbidden stars

I had watched the night before.

 

Until one night,

I met a man not to much older than

I.

He talked so sweet and

I soaked it up,

Not realizing his full

Intention.

 

I followed his lead

He lead me to a private room to “make out”.

 

He kissed my neck,

His hand slowly moved up my shirt.

 

I stepped back not sure of what

I should do.

I nervously slipped the shield of cotton over my head,

He placed his hands over my young breast.

 

A few minutes past…

 

I am left only in a pair of *******

His shirt removed,

He unzipped his jeans.

I could feel where

His wondering ***** was about to go, and

I said no,

 

I said no.

 

To my surprise

He held my wrist

He crushed the lock to my simplicity,

To my virginity.

He continued to push himself,

In to my barley moist *****

 

A huge ****

What seemed at the time,

But I would later find an average boy

Trying to prove that he was in fact,

A man.

 

As I said no

I tried to squirm and pry

This uninvited beast from between my thighs.

But the more I fought

The more it hurt

And I found this monster smiling and laughing at the sight

Of my attempt to be free

At the sight of a squirming me.

 

Before long

I surrendered to his violation.

And I blamed myself,

Because after some time of him

Penetrating my innocence and digging inside of me

I gave up.

 

Now,

My childhood gone,

My innocence ***** from

My ignorant soul,

And I’m left alone.

 

I’m left alone,

But I’m strong.
