Had You Known

By SaintNHB

If you had known
This is how I’d end up
Would you still have forced the decision on me?

Had you known
Would there still have been metal in me
Scraping out
The only good part of my body?

Had you known
That I would cry for months
Would you still have pressed the issue
Would you still kill innocence? 

Had you known
That a name was given
And “Love” was whispered
Would I be well passed eight weeks?

Had you known
That I would want to drive my car into a lake tonight,
Would you have still have made me kill
The one thing that could have loved me?

Had you known
That I would be mentally scarred for life
Would you have helped me instead? 

Had you known
That I couldn’t dream
That I couldn’t eat
That I couldn’t live
That I would wish to die
Would I still be in this Hell?

    ...I'm hoping this is purely fiction, Saint, bc it's very good. questions won't help you survive, & the answers are probably not worth hearing...
