Taking Back My Night

Taking Back My Night

I didn’t forgive you

I just forgot

There was pain

Humiliation

But the memory receded

Like a wave

From the shore of my mind

I remember saying “No

I have to go”

But you insisted

While I resisted

And the rest

Is a haze

In the morning there was blood

And disease

It was my fault

It never happened

It was your fault

I won’t forgive

And I can’t forget
