Definition of No

Your heart is unwilling but your mouth can't move to express it's unwillingness. So you lay there, pressed by the weight of the ugly dominance of the man you call your lover. This is how supposed to be isn't it? He is your lover by the ring and this is his right. You have no right to 'NO'. You killed yourself .

Your friends are in the next room, and you're in the kitchen when he slips in quietly to tell you he loves you, his hands match your quiet resistance. You don't want to cause any trouble, you don't want to make any noise. So he takes you on the kitchen floor, because he can't hear you shouting 'NO' in your head. You hit your head hard on the tiles, you're dead.

You went to the house of your friend, to watch a movie. Friends for long, he agreed to keep it clean and platonic. It's been 4 years. You have a boyfriend, it's been 3 months. You're sitting on his bed, like you normally do. You're wearing a short skirt, the same one you wear other times. He rips it from you and when you go home and you tell your story, they said you asked for it because you went to his house even though you said 'NO'. Your boyfriend broke up with you.

This is you on a date. You've never done this before, he buys you a lot of things. A new dress too, you slip in a few chocolate bars. When it's time to go home, he says it's time to be grateful. You don't understand, and he says he'll show you. His fingers begin their trek up your lap and you slap them away with yours. You say you can't do it. You say 'NO', but he shows you anyway how to be grateful in his car. The car got hit by another car, you're both dead.

Finally, that's you. Doing your job, not minding the snide remarks condemning you and what you do. You thought you had a choice and could walk when you want to.  But he takes you in his office and forces your 'NO' back down your throat. You're dead.
