My body now seizes,
it smashes against the wall.
Probably trying to fight off
the memory of what you did to me last fall.
Your hands wrapped 'round my throat
trying to take my life from within.
I didn't give up without a fight,
the tiles make contact with my chin.
Your body weight on top of mine
and I cannot get free.
You're pressing so hard on my windpipe
and it's getting hard to see.
You don't want me to take a breathe
and that is evident now.
How I got out from under you,
I really don't know how.
But every time I look in the mirror
I see those marks around my neck.
And even when I know the doors are locked
I still double check.
