Do You Remember?

Do you remember?

Do you remember choking me with your hands without permission?

Do you remember squeezing my throat closed

until I couldn’t breathe?

Cause I do

Bang! Pop!

Do you remember holding the gun you had as you did terrible things to my body?

Do you remember the blood that you caused to come from me?

Do you remember me telling you no because you didn’t love me?

Do you remember lie after lie that you told just to have my body?

Do you know the scars you left on your best friend?

Do you sleep tight remembering how I begged you to stay alive all those countless nights?

How does it feel to become a monster to someone?

How does it feel to become someone you never wanted to be?

How does it feel?

Do you still lie and ask why I ran?

Do you worry that you’ll run into me like I do you?

Do you have nightmares and flashbacks?

Do you resent yourself for not listening to yourself?

Cause I do
