Willing Rape Victim

2 men, that's it. 2 men have known me, inside, they fit. Doped out of my mind; it's hard to recall. Bits and pieces, flashes of memory. I was a living rag doll. Barely breathing, he takes me from behind. Pulls my hair, and says, "I'm gonna make you mine!" I think it happened three times, but who really knows? When your brain's as high as mine goes. I can't call it RAPE, I was a willing participant. Numb to the bones, so with it I went. When it all fell apart; my secrets exposed, he wrote me something that was no longer prose. His words were razor blades, slicing the skin with ease. I kept myself in my own prison; over, my heart began to freeze. "A willing rape victim", is what he called me. Sick to my stomach for allowing him in, I lay my head on the pillow to cry for a 5 year old sin.

Inspired by the most hurtful words ever uttered to me. Written before I could accept that this man had indeed raped me.
