Rest in Peace Rapist

I found out you died recently,
I would like to spray paint rapist on your grave,
Along with all those lines you fed me while you were manipulating and harassing me,
You were a Yale Law Student and I was a Yale College student,
You were a complete stranger exiting Sterling Memorial Library at closing with me,
Take a ride on my motorcycle you said,
I will take you to your dorm you said,
You can study here you said as we arrived at your apartment,
It is going to happen eventually so it may as well happen now you said as you forced me into your apartment and tore off my clothing,
I could have anyone I want but I choose you you screamed in the library several days later,
I told you to go away.
Rest in peace rapist.
