I went to the cinema with my friend last weekend to catch the new rom-com that was on. I saw a reused plot with alarming gender dynamics but my friend on the other hand found it to be the most “heart-touching” romance ever. At first, I thought ‘Okay, to each their own.’ But then she started fawning over the dashing, debonair (to be read as unrealistic and too good to be true) male protagonist.

An epitome of grace and beauty she isn’t. Everything about her is awkward – from her gait to her nervous babbling. She stands there, with all her pride and a poor posture, staring at nothing in particular, a vacant expression on her face, lost in the wastelands of her own thoughts.

My mind failed me
Dry hopelessness evident in my widened eyes
My limbs failed me
Frozen and unmoving
I failed myself
As another took control over me
Trailing trails of electric touches over my tender flesh
Because that’s all I was at the end of it
Meat to be used for another’s pleasure

You don’t know fear

Until you feel your heart skip a beat

Faint perspiration trickle down your face

A pit in your stomach

And in that pit is a hungry beast

Gnawing at the bone from its last meal

Never sated, always snarling for more
