It is okay because I'm ________ It is okay because I won't remember It's okay because of...

the vodka But when you touch me as I sleep Remember the way I apologized for throwing up in your trash can Remember the way my hands were tiny and limp And try to pretend you don't know when I awake and I'm not sure why my pants are unbuttoned Try not to look me in the eyes when you pass by me You won't know the way I realized in the shower And scrubbed so hard my skin was raw You won't know the way I flinch when a larger hand touches me And I'll never know for sure what you gained While I slept I'm someone's baby, grown and drunk and happy I had one too many and I needed to lay down The world went black and you saw me there Unaware, unable to speak up You could have some fun and nobody would ever know But with a tug I blinked my stained eyes And I felt your hand And I couldn't move I was an object I know longer had a favorite color or a quirky giggle I was breasts and thighs Dead weight and shallow breathes And nothing more You should have tucked me in But we both know that You don't have to tell me what you did to me I don't think I want to know anyway Just promise me you'll think about it Just promise me I'll be the reason it doesn't happen to another girl Just promise me you looked in the mirror I'll never understand when desire becomes more important than humanity
