Your fingers lightly play with the loose hairs on the nape of my neck I want to smile because it feels nice Instead I flinch because although your hands are soft I feel his rough hands wrapping around my throat Your lips press lightly against mine I want to kiss you back because I adore you Instead my mouth clamps shut because although you taste divine I smell his hot breath smothering my face Your voice tells me you love me I want to say it back because I love you too Instead the words catch in my throat because although those words are true I hear his voice telling me I don’t deserve you

You’re not him
Your fingers lightly play with the loose hairs on the nape of my neck I want to smile because it feels nice Instead I flinch because although your hands are soft I feel his rough hands wrapping around my throat Your lips press lightly against mine I want to kiss you back because I adore you Instead my mouth clamps shut because although you taste divine I smell his hot breath smothering my face Your voice tells me you love me I want to say it back because I love you too Instead the words catch in my throat because although those words are true I hear his voice telling me I don’t deserve you
