He held her down
Against her will
And covered her mouth
So her voice was stilled
A classic case
As it’s been billed
Of ****** assault
Now the truth’s been spilled

What’s done under cover
Of the night
In the depth of darkness
Comes out in the light
Of the day
To set things right
When the victim
Chooses to stand and fight

She’s putting everything
At risk
Because it was important
That she do this
Rather than remain
In the abyss
Which would make her complicit
And remiss

In this era of
ME TOO
You’ve gotta be careful
What you do
You may find that your past sins
Might accrue
To expose some things
Few others knew
