The Day the Memory Swallowed Me

The day you put your hand on me

With bad intentions 

Intentions to hurt me

Baggy blue tank top

Black leggings

Tainted by your touch

I let the memories swallow me up

And get lost in the past

Where your hand is moving lower and lower

I told you no

But your ears aren’t adjusted to that word

So you kept moving down

I told you no

But you kept pushing my head down

A knife in your pocket

Leaving me helpless

I went home 

And cried in my mother's arms

As you left

With everything you wanted
