Survivors

Your memory haunts my mind 
With actions you claim of being kind 
A trust completely misguided 
Leaves our friendship undecided 
You out of my life is what I wish 
But certain situations leave that thought adrift 
You words keep haunting me inside 
For now your presence I must abide 
Soon I hope to escape 
Every inch and thought of this rape
The feelings were a bit one sided 
But you knew that from arguments and words recited 
Even with the knowledge of the way I felt
You forced cards to be dealt 
A night supposed to be fun, we both got drunk 
And I left my mental state completely sunk 
An image of me getting sick 
For some reason gave you the right to use your dick 
Intoxication left me unable to consent but that was your cue that will can be bent 
For the memory I can’t recollect 
And yours only seems to be select 
Is this a fantasy in your head, I guess we’ll never know 
For your memory took a week or so
Your responses after the fact 
Well logic is what they lacked 
The truth is you crossed a line 
One I thought I had clearly defined
