Default I Want to Scream

i have no other place to share this. don't read it if you are easily triggered.




I Want to Scream

Thick, velvet darkness inches on
Chasing sunset across the lawn
Swallowing every speck of light
To hide the evil in the night

Is that a shadow lurking there
And does it bring more shame to bear
I hear his belt drop to the floor
I want to scream, run out the door

But no, I’m frozen where I lie
I must not breathe, I must not cry
I smell his breath, hot on my face
Please find a way to leave this place

My body’s dead, my mind is gone
I should die, but my heart beats on
And now the darkness comes again
To imprison me from within
