JULY/"02"
alone, scared, barely breathing
i run and hide only to hear dreaded footsteps coming near
i cringe at the sound of his voice just outside my door
no where to run
no way to escape
the emotions i face deep down inside is the terror in my world
the angry words spilling forth from his mouth
make me confused, depressed, emotionally closed off
i scream and yell but am not heard
it is as if i am placed in a damp, dark place that no one knows
i bang kick and scream but nothing helps
hopeless, lost, all out of breath
my hands slowly slide down the wall as i crouch in the corner hugging my knees
trembling, for i know not when he returns
tears form and fall down my face
my hero has been stolen from this place
she is gone, and all that is left is the feeling of emptiness
dark and cramped, what's my world without light?
