It was Dark

Hey it was dark

In that room, in that space

It was dark

Door shut closed and dogs away

I didn’t even know what I could say

You were a ghost floating in space

I felt your fingers find my waist

Did you ask when you unclipped my bra?

Did you care that I was scared?

I closed my eyes to go away

I couldn’t keep your voice at bay

Lyrical poetry whispered in my ear

“I’ll fuck you right in the pussy.”

I feigned pleasure to hide my fear

He never checked to see if I agree

All I ever felt was his weight on me

The unzipping of pants, a hand reaching

I was frozen, could not say what I was thinking

The show goes on

I’m the body his hands fall upon

Can it be true that he’d do this to me?

My friend, my comfort, why me?

Hey it was dark 

In that moment, in that instant

It was dark

You couldn’t see the marks you left on my neck

If there had been light, would you even have checked?

You bit me, you scratched me

Was I even there?

Or was I some sort of object imprisoned in your lair?

I said I was fine

I lied, I was not

I wanted you to be mine

Now all I want is for you to rot

I went to my dorm room just so ashamed

I thought we were friends

You called and said we should do it again

It was dark in that room

It was hot in those sheets

Next time I’ll scream

Next time I’ll run

Next time I’ll turn the fucking lights on
