Clarification
They say the first love is the best
and the only one worth remembering
and sticking to, and I agree.
The first rape is the only rape,
the rest is just repetition and routine,
it only hurts the first time
and then you forget how much it hurts.
It all depends on how it's done the first time,
with force or love, with kindness or aggression,
but in your case your love was a force of kindness
that overwhelmed me like a rape
but without hurting me.
And that's what I will stick to
living on it for the rest of my days
and sticking to the force of it
to never let you down
and never have you let me down,
my loyalty keeping you in bounds forever,
as my love is the force of yours.
