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
