you healed the scars he left


 

He scarred me

Without my consent

Waking up in the middle of the night

To someone inside of me

He scarred me

“You’re a terrible person for making me feel like I raped you”

I sit broken in disbelief

He scarred me

 

You healed me

Eyes locked

The night cold but my heart warm

You healed me

Butterflies fill my stomach as I hear the words

“Is this okay? Is it okay if I touch you here? If not please let me know”

Asking for consent

You healed me
