Content Notice: sexual assault why am I the guilty one? i try to spare your feelings, yet you never asked for mine that night. the answer was in my eyes the answer wass in my silence i’m not ready. you do not owe him kindness you do not owe him a gradual letdown i’m not even strong enough to say no. when you are a woman there is no line between firm and mean and i’m so tired of being nice you say you’re sorry you never meant to hurt me you don’t know what you’re sorry for but we can still be friends because that’s what you want and i can’t tell you no.
