A letter to someone I once knew

Sometimes we begin talking again and
that time on Light House Hill
comes through my memory once again
Do you Remember? in my car
I couldn't breathe for hours and
Every time I opened my mouth
no sound ever came out and
I begged You to take me
to the hospital. Do you Remember?
all because you told me you
didn't love me and You never
did take me because you were
embarrassed of my lungs failing me

Sometimes we begin talking again and
that time in Kings of Prussia
begins to replay in my mind
Do you Remember? in the attic
I cried while you screamed and
your fists danced around me like
they were reaching for an answer
I begged for a God to
take me away. Do you Remember?
I still feel my cheeks stinging
the pressure of your body as
your fists skipped around my face
and God never did take me
because He was embarrassed of my
body contorting and my eyes ballooning
