i was finally freed

Linds M. Crate

you’re not the only one
to mistake my kindess
for weakness,
but you’re one of the first
shatterd my heart like it was your verse;
young and sweet
i only knew love as something everyone
wanted
but i knew that i didn’t want you to kiss me
yet you forced me to
not once or twice but three times—
& then it got worse
you insisted that we were going to do it
even though i told you no
you walked over to me and pulled on my clothes,
but i pushed you away with a sudden adrenaline rush
running down the stairs;
your sister assumed i heard my mother coming
but in all honesty
i just wanted to escape—
took off running without looking back,
and some days later when you broke up with me
i cried not because of the break up
but because of the release
i was finally freed from your want and your need.
