Not Ok

i will never understand 
why

you felt the need to take from me 
what i would have given 
willingly.

i tried to be 
ok
with the way 

you violated me.

but after that night 

your touch never felt the same 
and when you held me 
i felt suffocated.

and i guess my body knew
before my heart did

that i was not 
ok
