What Does it Take to Become a Rapist? by Quinn Vokes What does it take to become a rapist? She didn't understand quite what she was getting into, That poor, sad girl who only wanted love. That poor, sad girl who became a rapist overnight. The slow changes, the fleeting moments When I should have seen it coming Fuck-me pumps, anorexic jeans When I didn't want to see it coming A person is capable of anything under the right circumstances, she whispered with warm breath into the night Long, dark hair lingering Dark complexion enticing How erotic she was AND IS We sat and talked and laughed and drank I passed out and now I wonder Did she rape me too? I'm not dead she cried, Don't look at me like I'm DEAD!! inside Was my body violated, or only my mind? 10/25/2008 Author's Note: *Not quite sure if this is finished Posted on 10/26/2008 Copyright © 2024 Quinn Vokes Member Comments on this Poem Posted by Nicole D Gregory on 10/26/08 at 02:10 AM Whoa! Wow! Very distinct. Very real. I am amazed by the twist in this and I feel a sense of brutal kindness for both parties. ~N Posted by Alisa Js on 10/26/08 at 03:51 AM Well written... aloha Posted by Gabriel Ricard on 10/26/08 at 06:11 AM Very sharp, very hard to ignore.
