how dare you
to boy number 2
i could talk until i’m blue
because how COULD you sit there
acting without a care
like nothing you did to me ever happened
how could you joke when they mentioned consent
when you knew you didn’t have it
screw you and your “gentlemanly virtue”
the way you shook my dad’s hand
and how you said nothing bad was true
when i confronted you
how DARE you make me feel like the one to blame
because you didn’t get to play your game
giving me all the shame
when you BRAG to your friends about the things you did to me that night
i'm sorry that you took my hesitation as a yes
i’ve never been allowed to say that two letter word
THAT STUPID TWO LETTER WORD for fear of starting a fight
because you took advantage of me after i had told you what i had gone through
and you SWORE to prove it wasn’t true
that not every guy was like that
and maybe you’re right, because you did worse
you put me in a situation after your stupid flirtation
and you were perverse
but i can’t come clean because NO ONE believes me.
