I would love you if I could, but I swear to god his hands still glide over my body in the night. And his breath still warms my neck when I'm alone. I still feel his eyes watching me as I shower. I still hear him crying saying he's sorry. But most of all I still hear myself telling him its okay.
I love you more than anything in this world but how am I supposed to show it when every day it feels like I'm being ***** all over again.
I lock every door and I close the blinds. I keep my head down when i walk through the streets. I hate walking past his old room so now I avoid that hallway. I don't drive by his high school friends house, so I take the long way home. My eyes can't focus when I drive by the national guard building because that's the last place I ever saw him. But no that's not true because I saw hin buying drugs one day and I got so high that night I couldn't even move. I smoked away that panic on his face when he saw me walk by. I still wish I would have yelled and screamed and told him I was hurt. Because now I can't be in public without feeling violated by the eyes of strangers.
