In the dark

Look out my window
it is getting dark.
No!
I won't let it happen.
It can't be dark
not even for one second.
Run to my livingroom
turn on the light.
Run to my kitchen
turn on the light.
one more room
my bedroom.
No!
Its too dark in there.
I can't go in
brings back bad memories.

Alone
night time
very dark
I hear a knock on my door
who could it be?
I look through the peep hole
delivery guy.
what could be delivered
this late at night?
Open my door
blow to my head
darkness surounds me
as I pass out.
dreamless hours go by
I wake up
tied to my bed.
What happened?
He's on top of me
pulling my clothes off
kissing me
Stop!
I scream but it's useless.
Help!
Nobody can hear me.
He penetrates my body
I cry
why is this happening to me?
what did I do wrong?
He gets off me
" dont tell anyone"
he whispers in my ear.
I cry
"i wont" I promise.
hours go by
crying
help!
nobody there
I get up and go to my bathroom
get in the shower
wash away the remains
of an embarassing event.

Back to reality
Darkness
too dark
Help!
nobody there
run to my livingroom
grab a flashlight
still dark
but a little better.
Go back to my bedroom
turn on the light
No more darkness.
I'm safe.
At least till tomarrow night.

    I understand your emotional need to wash yourself after, but what you should have done is get yourself some police and medical attention. When one listens to emotions before reason, stupidity often results.

      thanks

      i wasn't really speaking from experience in this poem. i was just trying to get the point across that this is sometimes how people feel after something like that happens. thanks for the comment though.

  • No.

    I like this poem and if it's personal, I'm so sorry. but I think you could shorten up the constant "...." and it could have flowed a bit better. Don't get me wrong, it's a great poem. It's nothing personal. (:


    Thank you for entering !
