Holy,,, wow. This poem is genuinely so beautifully written. It's not a topic I have experience with, nor one I'm very comfortable even thinking about, but this poem really brings into light the thought process and the ways of thinking of a victim.
Though it's such a dark topic, the feel of your poem is haunting and perfectly encapsulates the scene. The way you use words, as always, is chillingly beautiful. The extended metaphor of a sexual assaulter to a vampire is potent and carries a lot of meaning in itself, and the way you've expanded and fleshed out this idea is very eye-opening.
In more of a cold, literature-reviewer sense, your writing style and figurative language are lovely, and the way you've created the narrative and walked the reader through the thoughts of the victim is incredible. Each and every word adds to the horrifying mood and the innocence of the narrator in comparison to the debauchery of the situation is very well illustrated.
Overall, this is beautifully written, and you've perfectly conveyed a very real issue through the eyes of the victim. Also, I'm really sorry if anything like this has ever happened to you. I'm not sure if this is drawn from personal experience, but if it is, I'm so sorry, and I'm glad you can bring yourself to at least spread awareness of the situation and create beautiful art from it.
Great poem!!
