The darkness surrounds the shadows making them fade like that last lingering cloud after a rain shower
The demons catch me off guard because the bedroom is supposed to be a safe haven
Every dirty secret kept tally marked against the post on the bed frame.
What have I done?
The sounds of a forgotten lullaby lulling me to sleep
Every strand of hair stands up on my body as I suck in every breath to escape the noises in my head
The smell of fear takes a hold of me and reminds me of every reason why the bitterness remains
Screams are no longer heard through the cracks in the foundation
A knife slicing virgin flesh to erase the memories
A darkened heart scarred and terrorized
The people who are supposed to love me the most and it’s a constant let down
A heart that’s ready to stop fighting
A life that’s ready to stop living
The sunrise surrounds the darkness bringing light like the candles at a memorial service
Another fuzzy night clouded in haze to try and work through
I look down and all the anger is apparent
What have I done?
