I was locked in, unable to get out
I pulled at the door knob and I began to shout
Frightened, a touch perplexed, I tried to remember last night's events
None of which made any logical sense
A party, champagne and Beluga caviar
A full moon, a twinkling star
I wandered out onto the terrace to enjoy the view
When suddenly I heard a man whisper, 'don't shout', my gun is pointing at you
His voice sounded familiar
As he whispered into my ear
‘Walk towards your husband’s study’
I moved in a daze, my mind was fuzzy
I moved with grace
No emotion visible on my face
I unlocked the door of the study and walked in
The gun was tilting beneath my chin
I was told what to write on our letter head
He forced me to leave it in an envelope by our bed
Minutes later he pushed me into a waiting car
Then drove to a helipad not far
In the chopper, I saw another woman who I knew
She had been kidnapped too
We landed in a foreign country
The language they spoke was strange to me
I was really scared, petrified as can be
We were given some food twice a day
I wasn’t hungry, I wanted to get away
The lady with me was in no position to talk
She was very ill and could barely walk
Here I experienced unspoken horrors of which only I can speak
They lasted for about a week
Rape came in many a size and shape
There was no point in attempting to escape
There came a day when I was dragged by my hair
I left behind traces of my blood here and there
Nobody spoke, nothing was said
My poor head felt like lead
The other lady was lead away
I was in no position to have my say
They put chains around my feet and led me on to a boat
They found my body when it began to float.
