You Were Thirteen

I was eleven

Knew less than I do now

You were thirteen

All alone, and I showed you some kindness


God, how could that go wrong


We were roughhousing

As kids do

And you pinned me to my bed

You hovered over me


God, how did you forget


You started talking about sex

And I couldn’t throw you

This is why I learned Jiu Jitsu

Because I never want this again


God, how does a kid do this


And I don’t think I could forgive you

Because to forgive

Is to forget

And I could never forget this
