Analysis of Rape

Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)



Body twisted
Neck crushed by his glory
I loved him till then
Loves heavier now
Somehow I didn't say no
But I knew inside
I wanted him to go
Wanted it to end
For us just to be friends
And in time I did mend
And he lightened his touch
His embrace became kisses
That soothed my pain as such
For me at least this means so much
