Silenced
You laid beside me
we did not kiss
I thought that meant
we had the same intentions
how naive of me
I felt the blood rush through you
pressing up against me
I wanted to scream
but I felt mute
Others were in the room
how didn’t they know
what was going on
I was paralyzed
I could not sleep
I laid there with my eyes open
unsure if I was breathing
Later you left
I jumped up
sprinting to lock the door
and collapsed
tears were streaming
as fast as I was shaking
I finally found the strength to speak
but you denied it all
and were believed
because of your relationship status
you were innocent
I was the liar
you drifted off to sleep
while I laid terrified
