The Chase

Best friends with a girl, an animal lover Who happened to have a good looking brother All jumping about on the new trampoline, She hit her nose and went inside to clean I go to climb out but he is grabbing my arm Not grabbing hard he wasn’t trying to harm Putting his hand on my mouth and whispering in my ear Don’t tell a soul or I’ll tell your mum you came here At only ten I did not understand, He’d grind for a while then remove his hand I would go home unfazed and calm, Yet my lips stained with the taste of his palm For two years this happened nearly each day The world a place I did not want to stay then one day he tried to get me into his bed I ran and he chased but I got ahead After that I seemed to have a saviour Even though he was my next door neighbour No contact for two years or more Then there was a knock at the door I’m in love with you Emily, he said Pulls me in close as he moves his head I slam my door so it hits his face And that’s how I ended up getting out of the chase
