You'll never understand
how much he took,
how much I lost.
I never imagined
myself on the receiving end
of the pain.
I was the girl who couldn't drown
but every time I see him
my lungs fill with water and I'm
paralyzed.
I'm back
in that room,
frozen
on that bed.
And I see the way
he looked
as he towered over me
And I feel the way
he gripped
my ankles and dug his fingernails into my skin
And I hear the way
he laughed.
He laughed.
and now I am scared
to leave my room
to turn my back
to tell a friends
to close my eyes.
For each day is an obstacle,
and fear has taken refuge
where trust once grew.
