Remember

Does he remember,
the way he tricked me?
That day ruined my life.
I feel pure dread and regret.

Does he remember,
that scared little girl?
She trembled before his eyes,
afraid of that nasty smile.

Does he remember,
the rope he used on me?
To this very day,
rope is the devil to me.

Does he remember,
those girly little clothes?
I never got them back,
at least they were play clothes.

Does he remember,
the screams that I shrieked?
I feel the pain whenever
my eyelids flutter closed.

Does he remember,
the blood that I shed?
Scars are my only evidence
of that mangy beast.

Does he remember,
the way he left me to die?
Mother and Father never told me
how they found me.

I don't remember,
why it was my fault.
That's what the bullied said.
Trust me, I believed them.

That counselor remembers,
the way he smiled at me.
Acted as if I was nothing.
I don't like counselors anymore.

Everyday I remember
that man is out of jail.
I fear when he finds me.
Something tells me he will.

Oooo! I like. The structuring is great and overall the poem flows very well. It was also very intriguing (a very important part to every piece of writing) and it left me wanting to read more. I'm glad you ended it where you did, though. It leave the reader on the edge of their seat. The last stanza:

Everyday I remember
that main is out of jail.
I fear when he finds me.
Something tells me he will.

...was definitely my favorite, though I love how you built up to it throughout the entire poem. The images I get from reading this were great, everything was so well developed. You certainly put a great deal of thought into it.

Just a question though... Did you intent to submit this on anti-bullying day? Cause that certainly was great timing, even if the poem isn't directly related. :)

Overall, good work! Keep it up! :)
