Which Prevents Him.

she said no,

which prevents him

from pleasing himself,

so at the cost of her dignity he

takes her

makes her

wants her

leaves her.

“but don’t say anything–”

she wanted to speak

and she has thoughts

which prevent him

from getting a job

from living a normal life.

 

something she will never have.

 

so she says nothing

so she stays silent.

which prevents him

from getting what he deserves:

a reality she must now live.
