You Left Me There

I was recently in London for Christmas and the jet lagged kicked in like a dear friend I haven’t seen in a while. We had a good old catch up and in that catch up I got inspired to write a poem, something I haven’t done since I was about twelve years old. I got inspired about the so-called “friend” who was there when I got assaulted. Who was there and did nothing. Who was there and instead of supporting her friend supported the guys. The girl who thought I was going to crumble and not complete my Masters Degree because she thought I was going to be too weak to continue. The girl who thought I was finished with life. The girl who thought I would fade into the background.

To that girl who left me…you were so very, very wrong.

You Left Me There

You left me there,
After I had my soul destroyed,
As I lay in an empty blanket,
Whilst my mind was in a void.

You left me there,
Naked and alone with no hope,
As you watched from afar,
How did you expect I would cope?

You left me there,
Shivering and my body soiled.
You thought I would break,
Now that my soul had been spoiled.

You left me there,
Thinking I would never recover,
From being raped and cheated,
Out of a gentle lover.

You left me there,
Your friend, your fellowship,
Your betrayal and deceptive nature,
Thinking you’d sink this battleship.

You left me there,
Because you didn’t think I would survive.
Little did you know,
I would become so much stronger and thrive.

You left me there,
Thinking I would be defeated,
However you lit a light in me,
Oh how could you be so conceited?

You left me there,
It was the best move you ever made,
Because I am a thousand times stronger,
And no longer am I afraid.
