Your Hands
Dear You,
I understand
Maybe I led you on
Maybe my tight shorts were too much
But you were too much
You grabbed me like you owned
But I was not yours to own
I may have played along
I flirted but never thinking..never that
How was I supposed to know your hand would end up in my pants
I was only flirting with a boy who I thought was cute
You took advantage of my innocence
I didn’t know the difference
You felt no remorse
But the way you made me feel…
Why did you do that
How was that appropriate
We were in the middle of a pep rally
I’m sure somebody saw
How am I supposed to go on
I never meant for this to happen
I just thought we would end up boyfriend girlfriend
To you, this may have been a game
I hope you have shame
There is no way you forget that day
It still haunts my dreams
Remembering the discomfort
Remembering the degradation I felt for myself
I knew it was wrong but I didn’t want to be
How could something like this happen to me
These are the things you see in the movies
The movies where the girl ends up hanging herself
Because the guilt was all she felt
It wasn’t her fault but he didn’t think it was his
How can a world like this exist
I don’t want your compliments
Your compliments are full of alternatives
I don’t care what you think
It is my body and it is mine to keep
Stop looking at me
I am not yours to mentally undress
Why are you still looking at me that way
I am not a meal displayed in front of you
I am a woman who is trying to hide from you
Why don’t you understand
I am not yours to have
We are just friends
Why are we even friends
Friends don't molest friends
Goddamn you and your fucking hands
I never want to feel the touch of your hands
Never again
Your hands are your dishonor
Congratulations you made another nightmare
The nightmare of you
You touching me again
How dare you
This is the end
