He just kept pushing

And pushing

And her mind screamed against it

As her mouth had

Many times before.





His words, his caresses

From the past

Had led them to this moment

And how her lips were mute

As numb as her mind.





She supposed she had weakened—

At least somewhat—

As his endless pursuit of her

Seemed to pull from her

Her strength, her stance.





Now in only moments she felt

Ripped apart

As he turned abruptly from her

And she lay stunned

Turning away to one side.





His breathing was even

Her own—ragged

She choked back rising nausea

And hated them both

As hot tears quietly escaped her.





Curled up in a ball

She felt cold

And in shame felt in some way

This had to be

A reflection of herself.
