Lying in Bed

I got back from dinner with you.
I sat in my bed.
Then something came and got me.
It pushed me back.
I couldn't breathe.
It all came flooding back.
I remember now.
I remembered everything.
And you were part of it.
You were part of the everything.
How could you do that?
I was only a child.
What were you doing?
Did you even know?
Because I didn't.
I was only a child.
I was lying in my bed.
It all came back.
Get your fingers out of there.
I threw up all over my bed.
Because I couldn't get up.
I couldn't get up because I was paralyzed.
My stomach was in a knot.
I couldn't even change my sheets.
I couldn't get up.
You made me vomit.
You made me bleed.
Do you know how much that hurt?
I was only a child.
I WAS ONLY A CHILD!
You said it was for my own good.
You said I needed it.
I believed you.
Now, looking back, I didn't need it.
I didn't need any of it.
I was only a child.
I remember how you yelled at me when I protested, how you hit me, how you were just more aggressive than ever if I said anything.
If I said I didn't need it.
Why?
I was only a child.
And you.
You were not.
