I folded my hipbones,
crushed out the pink
between legs
and refused to scream
[ever again].
Man is strong, though-
peeling my cunt apart
like an apple corer
seeking heaven in the gated
that has become my sex.
Fingers find layers
beneath my strength
and push with the force
of Hercules, cruising
whores in Olympia.
Man doesn't heed reasons,
hungry at the sight
of thighs, of the natural
sway of woman; believes
urges are immortal
and he becomes god
between the bed posts
of my disbelief.
Author notes
It's strange, I know.
Yeah... I'm not liking seeking heaven, either. Suggestions?
Meli. Who the hell did you expect?

Dark and disturbed definately but fuck is it true... I couldn't have put this in a better way myself and that's the truth. Men are sick sometimes. Sex crazed gits. When guys realise i have a ... they change their opinions on 'little old me' and I'm now a thing, a play thing mostly, but a thing nonetheless... Sick really, I think many woman can see this. It hurt me a bit (but in a good way, it made me feel). I am a woman men treat like this and I know it's hard to believe but it does hurt, every single time a guy tries to force you to do stuff you don't want to do... You never get used of it, at least I don't.

some really good images in this one- first stanza is wonderful- hate the final line- like all the stuff in between.

This was a piece for one of those quick contests... I've been meaning to come back to it (when my writer's block has disappeared). Tell the truth, I'm not overly fond of the last line, either.

God I am left hurting in the deeper parts of my core.
"God sometimes you just don't come through"
I hope your sky didn't fall beautiful

thank you for the gold, darling
apple corer... one of those nifty little devices that pushes the core of an apple out? Kinda graphic once you get the mental picture, really. A metal cylinder that pushes through the middle of an apple... leaving it gapping and without a core.
Ah. Seeking salvation may work. -

jesus.. American household appliances..
poetic though.. removing the core of something so it's easier to eat..
