Heath

His name was Heath

The boy that I told

I was sitting in bed

N he asked me how I go

An I said oh not great

But I'll be okay

He couldn't relate

An I shook he could see

He invited me out into the sunny Thai day

But I said it rather be alone but I'll be okay

He came in four times

To our hostel room

Each time he would ask me

Why I looked so gloom

And each time I would lie and say honest I'm fine

Until the 4th

Something changed that time

And I asked If i could tell him what was on my mind

Heath sat down beside me

and I blurted out right

Im feeling so shite because I was raped last night

By a man that I liked and I trusted would stop

I told him how I was Scared and how I hadn't fought

I just let it happen

When i screamed I was caught

Up with fear, it must have been shock

He listened so tentatively as I sat and rocked

Heath asked what I needed,

Knowing he couldn't do much

I told him a smoke

Reverting back to my crutch

So he rolled us a joint

And we spoke of our homes

We sat on the doorstep

And I told him to go

Whenever he wanted

To party and pai

He said there's no rush

So we sat for a while.

And I could tell him now

I hope that Heath knows

How much that he helped
