When no is not enough April 10, 2012

 

He was her best friend’s boy friend who hit on her

 whenever his girlfriend wasn’t looking,

Trying every tick in the book to drag her into bed,

Flirting even when his girlfriend was in the same room,

A girl who trusted him never to hurt her,

So persistent he was that she finally gave in,

Making love to him when her best friend was away,

She thinking maybe if she gave in just this one time

He might get the whole thing out of his system

And the campaign to get her would cease,

When it only whetted his appetite to have more,

She flatly refusing him firmly, but he like a bull

Saw only her waving a red cape in front of him

And he plunged ahead even more determined

Seeking to repeat what he already had had,

Becoming more aggressive each time she said no

Until finally when her girlfriend was not around

He took what he wanted when she didn’t want him to

A moment in time that still haunts her all these years later

Forcing her to flee what she had until then thought of as paradise,

The perfect life she had hoped would last forever,

She unable to stroll those pathways or glimpse those trees

Without seeing him hovering over her,

The bull charging with his horns glistening with blood

And she helpless to stop him.
