Awoken from black
Slug in my mouth
Pain
Crying no
Grip tightens around my wrists
“No” is giggled
Body tensing
Head shaking
Suffocating
Back
To black
Perhaps I am just overreacting.
Awoken from black
Slug in my mouth
Pain
Crying no
Grip tightens around my wrists
“No” is giggled
Body tensing
Head shaking
Suffocating
Back
To black
Your beads of sweat
Your sunken eyes
I see you, you creature
There is nowhere to hide
We know
I know
Leave.
Before I let it slide
You’re all alcoholics I scream.
Gripping my vodka soda tightly.
Is everything ok?
Can you cough for me?
I splutter.
Tears dripping down my cheeks,
I can’t say no.
Stop it.
Get off me.
Not that people have listened before.
I felt safe with you.
Now I feel safe with no-one.
Were you just playing with your food?
