I Didn’t Even Know You

I didn’t even know you

When you began spreading lies.

I didn’t even know your name

When you decided to tarnish mine.

You spread lies and rumors,

And told details that weren’t yours.

But as long as you gained glory

Who cares that I’m the whore?

You made me the sacrifice,

The witch burning on the hill.

She asked for it you said,

She’s a slut who likes the thrill.

You used my trauma like currency

Trading like it were gold

You created a living nightmare,

Where parts of me were sold.

Did you gain popularity

By telling them I like it rough?

Do you feel good about yourself?

Does it make you feel tough?

Your words were not true,

It was sexual assault.

But that’s not sexy gossip,

So, the truth stayed in the vault.

You locked me with the guilty

And gave me all the blame,

When it belongs with the boy

With the untarnished name.

He stole what wasn’t his,

And then threw me away,

And then you swept in

And had so much to say.

But you weren’t even there,

So how could you know what’s true?

You spread my pain like wildfire,

And played a part in stealing my youth.

You may not remember my name

But I sure remember yours,

So I called up Karma,

She said it’s time to even the score.
