• Hello there, Cathy
    His voice echoes
    Down the hall
    Figures walk around
    In the pitch black room
    Can you see me, Cathy?
    Can you see what I look like?

    I shake my head
    The silence is all he needs
    To understand that I can’t
    I heard you liked girls
    Is that true?

    His fingers trail along my cheek
    Maybe I can straighten you out
    I can hear the smile
    In his voice
    Tears stream from my eyes
    What’s wrong, Cathy?
    He pulls something out of his pocket
    A moment later
    Something cold and sharp
    Is pressed against my neck
    You stay quiet now, Cathy
    Do what I say or die

    His voice is quiet and nice
    But every word is like a razor blade
    Having a party on my skin
    Take off your clothes, Cathy
    Take everything off

    My shaky hands
    Automatically obey his wishes
    He takes off his own clothes
    Lie down, Cathy
    And don’t make a sound

    I do as he says
    Immediately he is on top of me
    Remember, Cathy
    Do as I say and don’t make a sound

    He puts the knife back to my neck
    To remind me
    He goes inside me
    Do you like this, Cathy?
    Is this better than what girls can do for you?

    A small whimper escapes my lips
    The knife cuts my neck
    And he goes deeper
    I told you, Cathy
    Don’t make a sound

    Warm liquid
    Runs from my neck
    This is what real love is, Cathy
    A man and woman

    This can’t be love
    Because my heart aches
    With death
