The day after our country inaugurated a
rapist as the new president,
you raped me.
A cruel irony.
I remember thinking,
For one split second that maybe,
I shouldn't invite you out with us.
But I figured,
"what's the worst that could happen?"
And long story short,
It did.
My eyes were full of tears,
As I hopelessly waited for it to end.
And when you turned the lights on
all I could think about
was how much I didn't want you to see.
So I wiped away the tears you gave me
as you walked out,
taking my dignity with you
as you left.
