Nightmare

A Poem by xxox

Im not alone , it's just too dark to see your face
I feel your breath, my heart picks up the pace
the cold touch against my uncovered skin
soon feels like a sharp knife sinking in

thinking fast, knowing help will take too long
maybe I should run but I know your too strong
I regret how I got here, putting trust and love in you
now my only wish was someone caught on and knew

you were my home , and my home is my jail
my eyes were black and my face was pale
why you hate me so much is what I need to know
maybe you just like to use me as your personal show

is it fun to hit me when I cant fight back
are you glad to know im under attack
it makes you laugh and smile when I start to cry
why wont you kill me , you know I just want to die

I always tell myself to not let you touch me anymore
I try to count how many foot steps till i'd reach the door
I am on a death written lock down so I only belong to you
I need to escape and run, so I can finally start fresh and new

I clench my fist waiting for you to strike me
your breath is all I feel, your face I cannot see
I waited and for once nothing seemed to be going wrong
I heard the shot , you killed me , what took you so long

It ends. screaming up , awake in my bed
I wish these thoughts were out of my head
sweat dripping down my face and in my hair
god please take me away from this nightmare.
