I'll tell you what went down that night

By Eagle

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Suddenly you're afraid to touch me, Suddenly I look so dirty, Now that I'm not so innocent in your eyes. I'll tell just what went down that night. Things at his party started getting real tight. He took me to his room to get a couple CDs. When he locked his door He said to me, "I picked you, out of everyone." He put his hand over my mouth, and said, "This happens all the time. You're not the first or the last." He sat me down on his bed, and kneeled down next to me. Suddenly you're afraid to touch me, Suddenly I look so dirty, Now that I'm not so innocent in your eyes. I'll tell you just what went down that night. Things in his room starting getting real tense. He whispered in my ear, "Don't be afraid, It's not like you're going to die." I might have told him to stop, I asked him to leave me alone, but when you're that drunk, you can't fight back. I don't think anyone downstairs heard me yell, I don't think anyone else knew what was going on. From there on, you can guess what went down next. Suddenly you're afraid to touch me, Suddenly I look so dirty, Now that I'm not so innocent in your eyes. I've recovered from that night, I'd never let it take me down. But these days, you're afraid to touch me, I look so dirty, I don't come off so innocent in your eyes. These days all I need to make this better, is for you to look at me the way you used to. To look at me the same again. Becuase it could have happened to anyone. He was right all along, It happens all the time. I'm not the first or the last.I wrote this a few months ago... No, it's not true, at least about me. Written August 13th, 2001 © on Dec 12 2001 01:27 PM PST   10 • 0 • 1
