i do not remember times.
i do not remember the dates.
i do not remember all the logical details.
but i do remember it.
i remember his hands,
on my legs.
i remember his mouth,
on my skin.
i remember his words,
tearing my soul into pieces.
i do not remember his age.
i do not remember he full name.
and i do not remember how it started.
but i do remember the worst.
i remember the places he took me.
i remember the things he said to me.
i remember the smell that he left in my room.
i remember the darkness.
i do not know how we met.
and i cannot say how he gained the advantage.
i do not remember when he left.
or if he really left at all.
but i do remember the blackberries.
i remember the pink lipstick all over.
i remember the feeling of his hands on my wrists.
and the roughness of his lips.
i do not remember the times.
and i do not remember the dates.
but i do remember this:
that it was real.
