You were 11

And I was 10

You told me my eyes

We're the color of shit

Now you're 13

And I'm now 12

And you tell me I'm beautiful.

You were 11

And I was 10

You told me that

I was a lesbian

Now you're 13

And I'm now 12

And you support me,

Because it came true.

You were 11

And I was 10,

You told me Id never

Have any friends.

Now you're 13

And I'm now 12

And you tell me you'll be there

When I need help.

You were 11,

And I was 10,

You told me we'd never

Speak again

Now you're 13

And I'm now 12

And you sit here and ask

For another chance.

You were 11,

And I was 10,

You'd hit me and kick me

And pull on my hair

Now you're 13

And I'm now 12

And you're trying to keep others

From hurting me.

You were 11,

And I was 10,

Naïve of the world,

Gave you so many chances.

Now you're 13,

And I'm 12.

And I wary, and scared

To trust you again.

You were 11,

I was 10,

Tell me I'll never

Go back there

Again.
