Was I *****

Was I *****

Maybe I wanted it?

That intoxicated girl,

She must have said yes.

But that girl was me.

I did not say yes.

 

Was I *****

only a vague memory of the night

But the morning, a vivid reality.

Waking up naked in my bed,

To a strange man walking out my door.

Thanking me for sleeping with him.

But I did not say yes.

 

Was I *****

He seemed like a nice guy.

Maybe I fell on the walk home.

That's why there was blood and bruises,

On the most intimate parts of my body.

He did take me back to my room.

But I did not say yes.

 

Was I *****

The memories will forever haunt me.

But months of hell and healing,

Have led me to realize:

I did not say yes.

 

I was *****
