False Security Poem by Lauren Joy

That very first time
Your hand was so warm
Your eyes so kind
Your lips promised perfection
The world was harmless in your company
I thought I was in control
How did you become my obsession?
My mind is your playground
I laugh like a child
Naivety is my helmet
Ignorance my raincoat
Your hands slide across my body
They cover my eyes
In a moment I am bound head to foot
Silenced with a dirty gag
Putrid taste of vomit in my mouth
You hold me close
Stroke my hair
Bittersweet breath in my ear
Insanity in a plastic bag
You use me
Abuse me
I am your puppet
