Sorry, My Bad
Words fall off your tongue
Movements flow through your hands
You say you love me
But to love me you must know me
Yet you clearly don't know
How I would never let such tainted hands graze my skin
To love me you must listen to me
Yet you can't hear the word no climbing up my throat
To love me you must respect me
Yet you're not here for my mind, heart, and soul but my body
I will not be brought down by your temptation
Stop your kiss is not my salvation
When I go to walk away
"No wait I'm sorry" you say
"I screwed up let's move on"
The truth is if after a thousand noes
There was one forced okay
Sorry would be the last word in your vocabulary
You're sorry I said no and wasn't changing my mind
You're sorry I pushed your hand away
You're sorry I called you out
You're sorry your don't have a story to tell at practice tomorrow
You're sorry for my actions not yours

This poem is sadly something many young women can relate to. It's something that I feel isn't really talked about the way it should be. I feel that everyone should be able to speak out and know that it isn't your fault and it's okay to say no. I hope
