The Way I Died

Trigger Warning: Sexual Assualt

The way his body stood too close to mine

The way I could feel his breath on my face

The way he said I looked fine

The way I felt my heart begin to pace

The way he gave me a drink

The way I wanted to walk away

The way his height made me shrink

The way I wished I wasn’t gay

The way he got mad

The way I wished I hadn’t told

The way he was a deadbeat dad

The way I was too bold
