**Trigger Warning: Sexual Abuse

 

If I could paint a picture…

 

The colors would all be shades of violence, rage and depression

stark, bloody reds, midnight blues and black streaks

bruised purples, sickly greens

 

back-grounding

 

The tense lines of her body

Blonde hair a halo

around her furious, bleak face

icy blue eyes glaring

Down

at him

Her slight weight

Pinning him to her bed

 

The bed he invaded, unwelcome

 

His arms restrained

held in place by her rigid, muscular limbs

as she straddles his trunk

 

Her angry palm flat against his chest

burning            her hatred

                        into his bare flesh

 

while she holds, with her other hand

 

Her Beretta M9

pressed firmly

against his skull.
