is this what love feels like?
the gentle touch of his fingers tracing her
down her neck, letting his hand take the lead
his soft lips meet her skin
pressing ever so lightly
making her body shiver
his heart starts to race
knowing that with her every quiver
she is now his
— is this what love feels like v.1
....
her body twitches as his fingers run along her body
starting from her neck
he would hear her piercing cries
if he would let her breathe long enough to say no
as she reaches for anything to cling onto
to quiet the panic manifesting inside of her
she quivers as his lips move down her ribs
knowing that with the more he takes
she will be forever haunted
— is this what love feels like v. 2
About this poem
there are two sides to every story, two depictions of an event. often the predator will hide behind a distorted view of the events.
