You should have asked
But did you even need to ask?
Or did you block out the blood curdling way I screamed no?
Was it too painful for you to listen?
And afterwards was it too painful to look at me in the eyes?
Did it remind you of how they looked empty and dead when you touched me?
How they looked glazed over with tears?
Or do you just block out all of it because it's too painful for you?
Because I can't
And it f**king sucks
I can't look at those hands
How they looked holding me down
I remember
How they looked
It's unforgettable
Ask
Ask
Ask
Ask!
