Memory ****** She is alone again and terrified one more time Memories have clouded her vision Nightmares have haunted her mind. Don't close your eyes Don't sleep without a light Suddenly he is there against all your might Only 13 years old tears roll down her face Too young to understand the insanity of the human race Touching, groping his hands burn your skin Don't scream, don't fight because you know you'll never win She knows this is wrong and begs for him to quit but nothing can suppress her fear of being hit Don't tell anyone about this night Or he will hurt you with all his might.... She is alone again and terrified one more time Memories will cloud her vision Nightmares will haunt her mind. |

BobbyCat- This is powerfully chilling. The events are terrifying and yet real to far too many innocent victims. I'd like to give them my voice to SCREAM out! I give them my prayers. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Wow bobbycat, this is very chilling and disturbing. You have portrayed this subject very well, without delving into graphic detail. Well done. I am not a poet, I am merely one who speaks in emotion |

A very delicate subject and I think that you handled it very well. I like the way in which the poem gets into the whole double edged sword(sorry for the cliche)of the whole thing. I have never experienced this but I can now understand alittle better. Thanks Peace |

I hate the idea within the poem...but you sure wrote and portrayed it well... How tragic... Freedom of expression is the watch word... |

A very good description of the experience..... I liked it a lot. Although the subject is gruesome, perhaps it needs to be more fully explored? Time flies? Say it not so, time stays we go. |

Thanks for everyone's great compliments. It took me three years to finally put this to pen and paper--that's when I realized that writing can be a healing form of therapy.....  Bobbycat =^..^= |
