How?

Comments Off on How? Poetry, Issue 9

People say you didn’t know what you were doing.
That you knew you were crossing a line, but didn’t know how big
That you feel shitty about all this
That you still love me
That you’ve “learned your lesson”.
How could you not know?
You’re a big boy now, twenty-fucking- two!
How could you not understand that when I say “wait”
Or when I’m trying to SLEEP
That it is NOT the time!
I’m not a toy!
I lie in bed at night and god, it’s like I can still FEEL you!
You may think it was just a mistake that you can learn from and move past.
But I will never feel clean again.
