A Scorcher

The weight of the heat bearing down 
he holds your wrists back 
The burning in your eyes behind closed lids 
in the dark he tries to slip a dildo in your ass 
after you’ve told him no 
The sweat pooling on your body 
his smirk of a smile after he belittles you 
with the “honest truth” 
The oppressive humidity making you dizzy 
his brutal, quick speeches that make you 
question yourself 
Can’t take in enough fluid 
to balance what’s pouring out 
you faint 
he steps over you and leaves
