11 years

I thought this was over

I never think to bring it up

I buried it down sealed the coffin and tied it up

I didn’t think that it would come back

Out of nowhere, and in class

I didn’t think you were still on top of me

 

I don’t remember it

So, I tell myself it didn’t matter

I don’t remember, so it didn’t happen

 

11 years later, and I didn’t say yes

11 years later, I didn’t give you consent

you took my innocence from me that night

while my friends continued to forget, you put me to bed

 

I feel ashamed, that you got away with it

That after you were done with me, she laid with you next

16 never felt like yesterday until this morning

 

11 years and you still haunt me

I never talk about it, I never remember it

Because I didn’t remember

You violated my sunflower

You made me broken

 

11 years later, I still didn’t say yes

11 years later, I never gave consent
