i glance up and She’s still there
In the dark basement under the stairs
i pounce and make it for the door
She yanks me by my legs
And i dig my nails into the floorboard.

SCREAMING. PLEADING.

i turn and kick Her in her foul mouth
Where She’s been spitting out lies
i hide in the corner as She
reassembles Herself
She glares at me always

SWEARING. BLEEDING.

She pins me down, tries to suffocate me
i beg and beg and beg
But She has never had any pity
She picks me up and throws me
across the room.

FIGHTING. DYING.

As i lay there numb
She walks towards me so gracefully.
I haven’t been here at all
She speaks
It's been you contributing to your fall.
And She’s gone.
