the fact is that I don't have dreams about you,
I have nightmares.the fact is that I cannot hear that word,
without remembering it all.the fact is that I can't even play with friends,
without remembering how you laughed.the fact is that I finally could tell the truth after months of trying,
and people took it as mere dramatic stories.the fact is that I am haunted by memories each moment of my day,
memories of your breath on my skin.the fact is that I am full of fear and regret and self-blaming
and rage.the fact is that I said no.
and the fact is,
you just laughed.
