Lying here
helpless
bound
with no say
my mind races
trying to prevent myself from letting go
you stand above
eyes piercing through
seeing within
no words are spoken
the silence is screaming
a touch
shoots electricity through me
not wanting to let go
i fight
i close my eyes
a sting
brings a response i didn't want to show
a sign from within is displayed
a slap cracks
breaking the silence
you see deeper within me
using that
you open me wider
feelings rise
washing over me
loosing control
i cant stop
i cant hold back
the sounds gush out of me
crashing like waves
the fear is gone
its overcome
my body screams
you utter a word
an eruption begins
uncontrollable
overwhelming
am i lost to it?
