Forget Me Not (A Balad) Poem by Rachel Weaver

A woman stood on the subway
Drinking her coffee and reading
She was minding her own buisness
In a skirt that was inviting

A man lunged forward
With a box knife
Threated her with it at her throat
As he stole her virginity and her life

People acted as if nothing was happening
Stared out windows with wide eyes
Prayed he wouldn't kill her
When he finished she fell and covered her thighs

She'll never forget that day on the subway
People stood by and watched
She looked up with tears in her eyes
She said 'Forget me not.'
