my fault
I used to think it wasn't my fault
after all, you were the adult
but maybe I was to blame
maybe, just maybe, I should've had more shame
I wore shorts that were way shorter then my finger
but I didn't know your gaze would linger
I'd like to say I was just a kid
but 14 is old enough to know what I did
I was old enough to tell you please don't speak
I was old enough to stop being weak
The things you would say rattled my brain
and to this day, still causes me pain
I know now that it was my fault
I was the kid, and you were the adult
but I wasn't strong enough to tell you to quit
I kept it a secret I couldn't admit
And I will always carry that shame
for I am to blame
