I still remember
That rainy, cold day
In late March.
A day that will forever
Haunt me.
•••
I remember
Every heavy hand
That crossed my face.
The powerful fists
That cracked my bones.
•••
I remember
The pain I felt
Pulsating through my body
As you forced me down
Against my will.
•••
I remember
The fear
Of how far you might go
With all your rage.
As you threaten my life.
•••
You have scarred
My life with so much pain.
A constant nightmare
That lingers in my mind.
•••
So I write to you
As a reminder of all my pain.
You have left a mark
I will never
•••
Never forget.
