I remember
When we were young
My girlfriend and I
Were walking home
To her place
It was June the twenty-sixth
It was a very nice warm night
Not even half a block away
This guy drives up along side us
He pushes me down into the creek
Snatches the love of my life
Starts to violently rape her
Fearing for her life
I heard her screams
I grabbed the thickest branch
I could find and with all my might
I swung that baby right into the back
Of that assholes neck and watched him
Fall right off my girlfriend
Immediately I stripped off my clothing
Clothed her as best as I could
Picked her up carefully and ran to her place
Called the cops and was thankful they responded fast
The asshole was found laying upon the side of the road
They arrested him so quickly and I was thankful
An ambulance showed up and took her to the hospital
I visited her day in and day out as much as I was allowed
I will never forgive myself for what happened
She forgave me a few weeks later and explained
It wasn't my fault at all
I blame myself because I was so stricken by the sight
Of that van that drove very wildly into the walk path
I should have clued in and pushed her down the ditch with me
I will never totally understand
What exactly happened that day
But I will always remember
That nightmare from hell
That lonely Summer day!
Author notes
Self Explanatory... Sadly Chelsie passed away six years later from a bad artery and I will always remember that horrible nightmare and the screams of help she yelled till I was able to help her. *sigh* Despite all of what she went through and all I witnessed I eventually came over this and have been able to sleep peacefully without allowing this to haunt me... Moral: Do not let the bad things in life get you down because it will ruin your life... Option #2 I chose
