| Cold Fire He followed me throughout the day, His touch was like a cold fire. I tried, but he wouldn't go away. My body was his one and only desire. He watched the tears fall down my face, And he gently wiped them away. He hurt me not leaving a single trace. Until all hell broke loose one day. I screamed not thinking what he'd do And ran far down the hall. He acted like he had no clue, But later I would receive a call. "Hello my dear," he said in an evil tone. I shrieked and began shaking, Quickly hanging up the phone. I could see a breakdown was in the making. Hot tears filled my eyes, My face and fists were clenched. Every part of him I despise. Before long with my sweat, I was drenched. He came up behind me And grabbed me with his hands so strong. Fear filled my eyes and I couldn't see, But under his grip I acted like nothing was wrong. He took me to the back of the school And pinned me to the ground. Telling me there was one special rule, I couldn't make a sound. He took from me the most precious thing I had. I unable to make a sound, I did my best not to make him mad, Hoping and praying I soon would be found. It's been many years now Since he's been sent away. I see that it's evident now, His memories are here to stay. I cry myself to sleep many nights, And I know he doesn't care. I often have emotional fights And some I can't even bare. If this is happening to you, Tell someone something's wrong. It's really tough to go through, Even if you think you're emotionally strong. Sandi Board (with the help of Cherie) summer of 1998 |
