They kissed you with that mouth

They kissed you with that mouth

Wrote books about you

Took pictures and hung them up for beer ads

For humans with high testosterone to ogle

While they ******* the top of a beer bottle

Like it will bring their fathers acceptance

Back into their eyes.

Your nine inched heels gave me whip lash

Your ½ inch eyelashes gave me heartburn

Your spit

Indigestion

Because they kissed you with that mouth.

And you still believe,

 

You asked for it

 

You still believed you were not worth getting out of the hood for

The hood

what good is the hood and the hood-rats

 

You ******* ***** in alleyways

 

All 10 of them lined up

said I might as well have the money upfront

If I'm gonna **** **** I'm getting paid for it

 

They bashed your head into concrete so hard.

You forgot how your mothers voice sounded like

Almost forgot how your uncles knuckles tasted like,

I don’t know your story

I don’t know your name

I don’t know you

I just know that your friend

And my friends

Last night

Came to the conclusion

That you were a ****

And you were asking for it

You asked for your head to be bashed into concrete

And hey maybe you did

Maybe you wanted something to hit you hard enough to make you forget

The hate inside

The misogyny you swallow

and wash down the drain

maybe you were there in front of 10 guys because you wanted to know what power felt like

what being wanted felt like

because you thought you were worth the money

but they didn't

because maybe that's what you asked for

because maybe your mother taught you to get high and surrender with glazed eyes

rather then take your higheels off and fight

 

because your laughter sounds more broken than you do

because your eyes hold remnants of your skull

because you remember the taste of your blood too keenly

because my friends, my female friends who are not evil or sexist

 

my male friends the protector of women

came to an agreement

you asked for it

put yourself in the position to

smell the inside of your brain

because your blood meant power

because finishing them off

meant swallowing or bleeding

and you did some of both because

maybe you chose survival

because maybe you came in kicking naked and maybe thats how you wanna go out with

another mans hands down your throat

some to aid air some

to constrict

 

weather you bleed or swallow you are only

emptying out

 

and I tried to explain that to your friend and my friends but

there is so much anger about what happend to you

and none of it is directed at the ten faceless penises.

 

Because you were once a chandelier of candles

And now you are a faceless light bulb hung on the moldy hotel building

Because your **** gives you free crack and

My friends have disgust on their faces

And I feel

Pity
