It didn’t hurt until the Thursday after
When I let it half sink in
You weren’t a monster till the Friday
When you became your sin
And I repressed it for about a month
Then I let my brain know
And I ignored it till the next time
When I finally let it go
And now it kills me just to think it
To have to say it in my mind
And still it lingers as I function
Could I have been so blind?
You took and took and took from me
And I always forgave
You raped and tried to strangle me
To my emotional grave
