A Dark Night

poem by: Theresa Davison
Written on Apr 16, 2018

It was a dark night and I was on my way home
The streetlights were off and I was alone
Then from out of the alley came a man
He was tall and he grabbed me. Slam!
Against the wall he pinned me
And then he grinned at me

I didn't know what he was going to do.
I was scared. He unzipped my dress.
I tried to scream but I was too distressed
At what was happening to me
I can't go down that alley for fear that I'll see
That evil bastard who stole my purity

Once he'd had his way with me
He calmly walked away
But those memories will stay with me
Every single day
I run and I run, but I'll never escape
Those memories of my rape

Oh Theresa!.......I can only imagine your fear......I hope that evil bastard rots in hell!........you're so strong by exorcising that experience in a poem....that in itself is a form of therapy............

Thank you Frank. It happened a long time ago and it took me so long to build up the courage to tell anyone. It's nice to know that there are some men who do care. Thank you again.
