The Darkness Was Enveloping Her Poem by Gert Strydom

The darkness was enveloping her,
covering her from above,
while he pressed her down,
with a knife against her throat

and the nightmare was no dream,
but intense reality
where he was raping her
forcing himself into her trembling body.

When she tried to resist,
his black fist slammed down
hitting her in the face
and the night became much darker

and from sheer terror
it was as he was demon possessed
and her mind went blank.
