Analysis of Memory
Stop!
Stop!- I scream
My voice echos down the hall
It's him and I,
Alone.
I'm afraid.
He spins me around,
Pushes me against the wall.
His hand moving down my body,
While his hips continually thrust upon me
Frozen in place,
My body was limp.
He was winning,
I felt defeated.
I couldn't wait for it to be over,
Try to pretend it was a bad dream.
But dreams, you'll forget about.
His face,
The way his body pressed against mine,
The smell on his breath,
Forever in my mind.
Stop!
Stop!- I scream internally.
I'm alone now,
Alone in my thoughts.
He has gone,
But forever,
he'll be with me.
