She Tried

She tried to escape from your grasp, to pry your pinched fingers from her nose, and your sealed palm from her gasping mouth, but you did not let her.

Even when her eyes began to well with tears, you held on – wrapping your leg around hers so she could not turn, and pushing your chest against hers so she could not roll. Now she sleeps – delicate, vulnerable, defenseless.

Should you wake her, and start your fight anew? Leave and assume your feud is truly over? Or wrap your body around her’s again, this time to satisfy your own carnal desires.
