I do believe that when you say no, it means no,
isn’t that what we have always been told?
Its compliance means that you have shown us respect,
and that we mean more to you than just having sex.
There are more ways than just physical contact
for men to accomplish sexual conquest,
but when our statement of no they will not take,
some seek other methods to still have their way.
You desired to force your will upon my “give me time” soul,
so you moved along to the next weapon in your arsenal,
to share my body on my timing, you would not wait,
and you used my own medium of words to have it your way.
I could feel your bold explicit words pressing in on me,
your vision so clear, you would have me that day,
and I knew the power you felt that you held over me,
for after that text act, you never sent another word my way.
I thought that my request not tonight, let’s wait, was not saying no,
for it still left open for us a future love door,
but not only did you not respect my choice to say so
your brashness was transmitted using the number of my phone.
