Speak Up
I let him touch me
trace the curve of my spine
Glide his fingertips over all my insecurities
I told myself it would be okay
Now I'm thinking
maybe from the start
I wasn't okay
It had made sense
they were
lips locked- hands searching
finding nothing but bliss
So why couldn't I find the same?
It started off slow
a flick of the light switch
a giggle past closed lips
then he tugged on my shirt
I went with the flow
Why did I ignore my inner pleas?
Side by side
I couldn't feel any closer
a tickle of breath on my neck
hands trailing
I told him to stop
Or so I thought I did
because quiet is my game
and sometimes words fail to make it past my lips
regardless
she tells me I'm not wrong to feel the way I do
but aren't I?
I can't comprehend what I want
or how I should feel
I'm a walking calamity
I just need to learn how to speak
I go so long without writing poems that when I like yearn to write sometimes but nothing makes sense
