They Saved Themselves From Me

Both of them did

They saved themselves from me

Both of them saved themselves

The first one was straight

She could not love

A trans guy like me

I wrote her hundreds of letters

And she never answered

They saved themselves from me

The second was a German girl

She was my girlfriend

She was my prom date

She was sexually assaulted by an insolent Russian

That used to sneer with sport cars

I went to avenge her

But she stopped me

"You are not a killer" - she said

And "poor you, look at the state you are in"

I cried upon her shoulder

She is a head taller

They saved themselves from me

Both of them saved themselves

What about me, when will I save myself?
