Footsteps Behind My Back

Footsteps behind my back.
The sound is clear,
It arouses my fear.

Footsteps behind my back.
With desperation,
My feet move fast.

Footsteps behind my back.
Wanting to hide,
Into the darkness I hide.

Footsteps behind my back.
The wall in front,
I am trapped from behind.

Footsteps behind my back,
With dread,
I turned around.

No footsteps,
No sound,
I am facing the ground.

The cold air rushes by,
I’m firmly held,
From behind.

My necked breasts,
Held aloft,
In the night.

My chastity,
Forever removed,
From my soul.

Then there was no more,
The pain was gone.
But the echo exists, forever more...

Footsteps behind my back.

It's slightly creepy, the way you actually repeat 'footsteps behind my back' to emphasis on the fear of the person... :P Well done, Melissa!
