card 24 woman looking up at moon resized

when I was a girl
you walked me home at night
you listened to me

when I was a girl
my street held scant menace
danger was at home

you walked me at night
knew why my footsteps slowed
saw that he was there

you listened to me
convinced me to turn around
to tell a friend’s mother
