For You/For Me
Life is easy for you.
All of you.
You work, you study, you relax, you sleep.
You do as you please.
You have forgotten about me - and all of the things you did and said to me.
Life is not easy for me.
Awake I live in fear of seeing you, or of you seeing me;
Asleep I am tormented by the unceasing memory of your condescending voices,
your blows,
your hot breath uncomfortably close to my face.
You controlled and still control everything in my life.
I have not forgotten
can not forget
will not forget
any of it.
And it's not fair, but that's how it is
for you, for me.
