You Were A Friend

By Anonymous Contributor   Posted in Byline Fiction
Posted on December 7, 2016November 27, 2016

I was in a safe place,

or so I had thought,

with your hand on my mouth,

I begged you to stop.

 

Thinking back on this and my

stomach in knots,

I shove down more pills and

three more shots,

my body is broken

and I am lost,

my innocence was taken

but for what cost?

 

I felt pain that night,

as I laid there and cried,

and it was comparable to that

of a knife

however of course it was “just

sex” you implied.

 

You were a friend,

Or so I had thought,

You left me in pieces

And completely distraught.

 

Consent is important,

It’s a yes or a no,

If someone refuses,

Respect that and go
