Blood In My Words
His voice is as sharp as a knife,
My eyes betray me,
My hands tremble in my sleep,
My eyes tremble in light,
He has become the Devil in my life,
Can't he see my body has more than enough cuts and bruises,
I hide in the shadows,
He seeks me and tames me to his will,
It has become a routine to bleed through my shirt,
My hands are no longer hands,
Why can't you see I am no punching bag,
My body shuts down and you start your anger,
I have no choice but to endure it,
When he is done I am nothing but a skeleton in the darkness,
That night I go to my lake,
I stare at the water wondering if I will ever see the light of day tomorrow,
I realize there is no point,
With both arms wrapped around my neck,
I squeeze,
I am falling,
I only see black spots,
Then my wold is black,
My hands feel cold,
My hair as light as a feather,
I am gone for ever,
I am no more,
I cry in joy as I realize he will never be able to touch me again,
My heart sinks when I realize I left my family behind,
My sister,
My brothers,
They will never be with me,
I am dead,
I am away from him,
But away from my family too,
My tears of joy turn into tears of sadness,
Then I am surrounded by red and the taste of salt,
My eyes are filled with blood,
I close them and dream,
I dream of my life without him,
I would be alive right now,
Without Him
