Tell Me

Tell me I'm not tainted
Tell me I'm not wrong
Tell me why I waited
To tell you for this long

Is it real if I lost the memory?
Is it real if it's stuffed down?
Is it real if it was hidden from me?
What if I found it while I drowned?

I need to know I'm not dirty
I need to know it's not my fault
I need to know though I was flirty
I didn't deserve the assault

I wish I didn't hide it
I wish I told the truth
I wish when the pain subsided
I didn't lose my youth

It was you who tried to save me
It was you who also failed
It was you who valued loyalty
To a monster's friendship thinly veiled

So tell me I deserve validation
So tell me you're apologetic
So tell me I'll get compensation
For the memories I put in the attic
