Me and You
Before you my anxiety was getting better
I could handle a room full of people
And my heart would not flutter
Every step was not met with a bead of sweat
The rhythm to which I moved never thought to include you
My body retains a memory that I no longer seem to know
Control yourself, this isn't just another rape poem
They say the best way to get over trauma is being surrounded by the ones you love
That home is where the love is
Where the love is where your family is
But home isn't home to me
Just a cell to hide from what you did to me
I hope you're happy
I'd pray to god if I still believed he loved me
If a creator existed, oh how I'd pray he had never created me
Than maybe I wouldn't have written this my tongue would no longer fear your name
My hands would not shake at your voice
My body would not seek an escape from your touch
But this isn't just another rape poem
It's your word against mine
No
Maybe I asked for it
