Six foot four, Two hundred and sixty pounds. I see your shaven neck On strangers bodies And I’m back there. Right back where I can’t feel my hands Alcohol spilled on my dress Your hands are somewhere And I am dead. But, I already was. You didn’t know that you were into that. *** with dead souls. Unfortunately my body was alive. A causal day, ruined. Brought back to that night Just because of some mans shaven neck. I can feel the ache still. Stomach churns Anxiety chills I did it again. Then I remember other nights Nights that I fought back Nights that I was passed out On some mans bathroom floor. I can hear your laugh And still feel your hands fight me And hearing you say “just stop, you want this, you do it with everyone else”. Skin feels like it’s not connected to my body. And breathing gets hard, But not you. Because you’re not here. Not you, not the other men either. And I’m back to today, in line, Getting lunch. And I am alone. But I am not dead anymore. Flashback is done Now to eat a salad.

Flashback to death
Six foot four, Two hundred and sixty pounds. I see your shaven neck On strangers bodies And I’m back there. Right back where I can’t feel my hands Alcohol spilled on my dress Your hands are somewhere And I am dead. But, I already was. You didn’t know that you were into that. *** with dead souls. Unfortunately my body was alive. A causal day, ruined. Brought back to that night Just because of some mans shaven neck. I can feel the ache still. Stomach churns Anxiety chills I did it again. Then I remember other nights Nights that I fought back Nights that I was passed out On some mans bathroom floor. I can hear your laugh And still feel your hands fight me And hearing you say “just stop, you want this, you do it with everyone else”. Skin feels like it’s not connected to my body. And breathing gets hard, But not you. Because you’re not here. Not you, not the other men either. And I’m back to today, in line, Getting lunch. And I am alone. But I am not dead anymore. Flashback is done Now to eat a salad.
