TW: Your Hands Around Me

I feel your fingers griping my skin
with your palm against my trachea 
applying pressure and not caring
I can feel each finger as it gets tighter and tighter

my fingers grab your thumb.
trying to pull it off
your fingers getting tighter and tighter

pointer
middle
ring
pinky

feeling the pressure build

I keep trying to pull
the more I pull the more your grip grows
the more you grip the more I pull

I struggle to keep a keep a grip

the world has no sound now

the world goes quiet

I see gray and then black cover my eyes
it's pitch black
for how long, I do not know

seconds
minutes

I do not know

Screaming

I hear screaming
the world is still black
my hands are still gripping
trying to pull this hand off of me

I finally can see
the world around me
this man, that I thought, I knew 
was still over me
hand gripped around me

The screaming he heard

He backed off then

Was he trying to kill me
Was he just having fun
Only he can answer that

I look in the mirror

pointer
middle
ring
pinky

His fingers left on my skin
I didn't know how to hide
how to hide what happened

the day I blacked out
was it the day I almost died?
