Sensing People
Heavy breathing
I feel the beating in my chest
Clothes rustling together
I hear the blood rushing in my ears
Citrus
The scent of my shampoo lingers on my skin
Must
The scent of his cologne overpowers my shampoo
Houses upside down
The frame of the car door blocks the lawn
Pitch black
I close my eyes
Chills
His hands run across my body
Moist
His tongue glides on my neck
Peppermint
The taste of my toothpaste tainted by his tongue
Orange juice
His breakfast overpowered my toothpaste
I am afraid
This is the moment I become a statistic
Panic sets
I freeze and can’t stop him
I am ashamed
I should have done more
My blood boils with anger
He acts like it’s okay
Pain
My heart feels heavy in my chest
Pain
Maybe it's because his body is crushing mine
Realization
This is the moment I lost hope in people
