The day i chose not to die

He took her.    
There.. .    
Daylight glowed on    
Her hair    
Carefree    
And singing    
She walked casually down    
A sidewalk    
   
Grabbed her quick and ran    
To the alley    
Covered her crazed    
Face    
Knife stuck up her ribs    
Said "Do not scream..hear me bitch?"    
   
She fell    
In terror    
She knew exactly what    
Was coming to her    
Her plan    
Survive.  ..    
   
He shoved her onto him    
She tried to pretend    
She was somewhere    
Else    
Other than hell    
Afraid her last breath    
Was the next inhale    
of putrid man    
Sweat and body stink    
Her last taste    
Monster    
And his foul prick    
   
He pulled outta her mouth    
Said "Bitch..say a word!"    
Blade held in front of eyes    
That cried    
Silent and dry    
She would make no sound    
Yet...    
Her plan    
Survive    
   
Shoved her on her back    
And started    
In and out    
In and...attack    
Her mind floated    
Closed her eyes and thoughts    
Went    
To her son    
To her good lover    
To the day she learned to swim    
Under water    
She was almost to    
Another plane    
When she felt....  
Incredible pain  
Sharp steel
Stabbing thrust    
Her throat filled up    
With a taste if Iron and rust    
   
Numb    
She felt cold    
Heard the rush of her    
Own heart    
And felt herself float    
Ease ...    
Breeze for breath    
   
She looked down    
And saw her own body    
Covered    
With blood    
Sedated and heavy with death    
Pain and putrid man    
Hovering over her own corpse    
She knew    
By instinct    
One tug of an invisible    
Chord    
She could release herself    
Be done with that horrible world    
...    
Her mind floated    
Closed her eyes and thoughts  
Went    
To her son    
To her good lover    
To the day she learned to swim    
Under water    
Her plan    
Survive    
   
She arched sharp .    
A sudden gasp of air..    
   
It hurt..    
But the Monster    
Had accidentally left    
Some of her there
