Black And Blue Escape

I will not wake up with you by my side
Without you here I do not have to hide
Your hands will not run through my hair
I will not wake up afraid of your stare
Your eyes are weak like elders bones
I will not wake up with swings being thrown
Your muscles are strong unlike your eyes
I will not wake up with you on my mind
Every cigar you smoke ends its life on my skin
I will not wake up next to a man with such sins
You haven't fixed our kitchen sink although I begged months ago
I will not wake up with new bruises to show
I am much too weak and physically sore
I will not wake up next to you anymore

Invisible To The Eye

The hurt she carries suffocates her so. Life for her is one that she can't let go. Her unhappiness is hidden from all eyes. Look deep enough, you will hear the cries.

Prologue

"No please I don't want to, please just get off me" I cried.

Time To Go

So we fought. You left me all alone. Now I'm in the bathroom. On the floor. Doors closed and locked. Just like my heart now. My eyes are red and puffy. My cheeks are wet. From all your insults.

Begging For The Door

#youngwritershousehold I fall to the floor, Walking towards the door I can't take it much more. I wish I could leave on wings I'd soar. Another cup of beer you pour.

Corner Of The Room

Hiding away, Back against the wall, Corner of the room, Ready to fall. Your darkening shadow, Streaks across my face, I shrink to my feet, Heart starting to race.

Beaten

Kicks and a punch. Marks and bruises. After dinner and lunch. Consciousness looses. Ropes and wire. Tied to a pole. Hurts like fire. Burns the soul. Flesh apart. Lemons and lime. Burning heart.

Need To Get Out

I need to get out,of this place I call home. With its filth and its clutter It would make a queen stutter Where children are slaves,and I swear earth has nicer caves.

I'm Here

Come closer, darling Don't be afraid, precious Yes, things are falling But it's okay You're here with me now Curled up in my arms.
