Communication is Key to a Healthy Relationship *trigger warning* *sexual assault*

The taste of his mouth seared my tongue, even after he tore my insides out I still had a reminder of his betrayal of every part of me: my mind, my body, my heart. He took the last shred of trust I had for me and he threw it out the window because no matter how times I pleaded for him to let me go, no matter how many times I tried to fight back, he ignored me. My mother used to always tell me that communication is crucial in every relationship but she never told me what to do when the person you love most ignores every sign you send, more than that, ever sign you shout at the top of your lungs, sobbing… If he loved me, he would have listened, but maybe I should be happy he loved me at all.
