The wind howls against the window
The fire starts to dwindle
The sky as black as coal
As black as his soul
He stands in the corner
Waiting like Jack Horner
I do not fear him he has been there forever
As long as i can remember
No one sees him but me
I guess only i can see
He draws me in holds me close
Upon his wings i can coast
I get lost in dreadful memories
Hearing each and every summary
Sometimes it pains me to stay
But he says it must be this way
I can never leave the room
As he watches me with doom
He was kind at first
But now all he brings is hurt
The walls are deep and red
From all the blood that I've bled
I wish to go back to my life
One without strife
There is no sun outside my window
All i see is sorrow
Not even a star amongst the black
It is just me and him, i want my life back
When he breathes his flames
He says he is tamed
That it will all be okay
And that he'll get me through it he does say
When he kisses my lips
When his fingers touch my hips
I forget i wanted to leave
And in him i believe
I am in pain constantly
He treats me like a monstrosity
My back aches
My knees quake
I am trapped in this place
No door through which i want to race
The windows don't open not even wide enough for a snake
And they don't break
I am stuck here forever it seems
Will i ever be able to leave?
