Are You Happy Now?

by Jenni Marie   Apr 5, 2011


Almost eight years to the day..and you're still in my mind
Although the pain has lessoned, it seems I'm still confined
Every moment of that night forever etched in my brain
It was so long ago..and yet I can still feel such disdain

If only..if only I hadn't decided to go out that night
Maybe if I'd stayed in things would have been alright
If only..if only I'd taken a different turn, bypassed that alleyway
Maybe you wouldn't be on my mind after all this time today

Know that you've moved on, without even a second thought
So easy for you to turn away, after I was left so distraught
So naive, so gullible, so trusting...why didn't I see
That all you wished to do, was inflict such pain on me

Such disdain for what you did to me, the way you made me feel
Anger at how you wrecked my life, for never will I heal
Guess you don't remember me, while I will always feel this way
Handed a life sentence, when you decided to rape me on that day

    You're right, you will never heal completely, the memory will always be there but it's still very early days and with more time will come more healing. A powerful and heart breaking write and something a lot of people have to deal with in their lives. Everybody feels different in their own experience ofcourse. If you need a ear, don't hesitate : )
