Memory

Is this normal

To feel how I feel?

Is this really happening?

Is this for real?

 

I’m stuck in the past

With no way to move on

I cry every night

With events replaying on and on

 

How could this have happened?

How could this be?

How could he do 

What he did to me?

 

It happened so long ago -

My mind forgot it so.

Now the memory won’t stop

And he was even a cop!

 

He took advantage

And I knew better

He had gotten what he wanted

And I never mattered

 

I told him ‘No’

But he didn’t listen 

Finally got him to stop

So he wouldn’t be trippin’.

 

I did what I did

‘Cause I wanted him to leave me alone

Stayed for a little while after

Then I was gone

 

I cried on the way home

Couldn’t believe what just happened

Trusted he would protect me 

Because of his position

 

My mind forgot it

Never thought of it again

Until the other day

When the memory began!
