"How Could You?"
How could you just sit there?
And not even care!
How could you just sit there?
And just watch and stare!
Don't you see that I'm in pain?
Can't you see the bloody stain!?
How could you make me so confused?
And sit there and watch me being used!
How could you just watch me scream?
It was a nightmare, not a dream!
I look at you with all this hate!
Hoping one day that I could relate.
How could you just leave me alone?
You can hear my pain in my tone.
How could you not even care?
That I was being raped there!
How could you not even care?
That I was terrified and really scared!
