Did You?

11 years

that’s a pretty big difference

but I guess an 11 year difference

is irrelevant

once you’re three years past legal

but you didn’t know that I was

did you?

I didn’t have ID in that bar

where you convinced the bartender

to let me drink

where you shoveled alcohol into my face

you had no idea how old I was

did you?

when you got me alone in your truck

after my friends passed out

when you drove me home

fifteen miles for an hour and a half

you had no idea if I were legal

did you?

no I don’t suspect you did

you never really asked

oh you did tell me an awful lot

about yourself

I thought I made a friend see

but you took advantage of me

I may be 21 but I am still

somebody’s daughter

somebody’s sister

and you didn’t even know

did you?

I suspect you didn’t want to know

that way you could hope

in your head

that I wasn’t

and I was just another teenage girl

looking for a thrill

but I wasn’t

I was just looking to chill

I wanted to hang out

and watch some cartoons

not have you do whatever you wanted to do

how could you

you call yourself a man

well I think you’re a mouse
