The heat is searing into me as I put
the groceries away-
Air conditioner broken down - the
TV won't even play.
What's that? - The door shut-
No one should be here-
I call out but no one answers -
my first inkling of fear.
He looms before me - holding a
gun- God, please help me!
He grabs me - throws me on the floor-
Oh God! I can't get free!
I try to scream - he holds me down-
covers my mouth with his hand-
Clothes ripping - Oh God , it's mine -
Oh, how I hate this man!
The gun points to my head - my scream
echos thru the night-
He whispers in my ear - Do as I say-
and you will be allright!
He tries to kiss me , Oh God, I'm trying
hard to get away-
His hands are all over me - I'm to
scared to pray!
He presses me close to him - my
clothes a heap on the floor-
My knee raises up and reaches it's
mark - I get up and race for the door.
Not fast enough- he hits me- blood
running down my face-
I lay on the floor in horror -I look
at him in distaste.
He lays on top of me - I can't move-
I can only cry-
I close my eyes as he paws at me-
God, I just want to die!
His hands make me sick - all over me-
Please leave me alone-
I scream in terror - all worth and
self respect is gone!
His eyes are cruel and cold as he plunges
inside of me-
No chance of getting away - he takes
my dignity!
He gets up while I cry - He gets up
while I die - runs out the door-
God , I can't move - I can't get
up off the floor.
Body aching - I hurt inside - so dirty
and used I feel-
How will I ever survive - How will
I ever heal?
Tears and blood - all around - I can't
bear the pain-
My life has changed from this moment-
it will never be the same!
