She laid there on the couch,
drifting off to sleep;
still listening to her Korean drama show.
It happened so fast only her eyes shot open,
she was covered with a blanket.
Nothing, right?
Wrong.
She felt the blanket pinned her to the couch.
The couch where an hour ago kids were watching TV.
An hour ago where everyone was winding down for the night.
The blanket pinned her perfectly,
perfectly with the weight of someone she knew and lived with.
"Let's Try Something"
Three words that are loud and unforgettable,
with fingers sliding up her leg.
Her eyes wide open...
I woke up with tears streaming down my face,
still feeling the heat on my neck as he said those three words.
My whimpering soon became a loud cry,
waking my mother and baby laying next to me.
What happened they said?
How can I tell my mother the guy we were living with has been "trying."
My baby says "it's okay I'm right here."
I duck every time he's near,
If he taps my shoulder; I go straight to fight mode.
If I'm awake,
why do I still hear his words on my neck.
I never want to be alone.
