Penetration
Sit me down and scold me,
you spit when you yell.
You're never one to hold me,
your forehead vein is telling.
The soft jazz yesterday
is ripped from me.
Raped and bleeding
I stagger back,
concede.
I'm the pea, you cannot sleep,
so you stumble into my body
with your fists;
upheld moans you cannot keep.
The floorboards hold their
secrets, the walls never breathe.
The mess is contained,
because I'm seething on my knees.
you spit when you yell.
You're never one to hold me,
your forehead vein is telling.
The soft jazz yesterday
is ripped from me.
Raped and bleeding
I stagger back,
concede.
I'm the pea, you cannot sleep,
so you stumble into my body
with your fists;
upheld moans you cannot keep.
The floorboards hold their
secrets, the walls never breathe.
The mess is contained,
because I'm seething on my knees.

I too would hope it's fiction, but it anyway presents a raw picture of abuse recalled. Favourite lines:
I'm the pea, you cannot sleep,
so you stumble into my body [ie my presence discomforts you, seems to put you on aggressive]
The floorboards hold their
secrets, the walls never breathe.
The mess is contained,
because I'm seething on my knees. [this verse sums up the closeting influence of abuse that so many victims experience]
I'm the pea, you cannot sleep,
