No More Bleeding
Emptyness in this space.
An unprovided home,
one more mistake.
She lies awake at night,
hoping for a better day.
But she wakes up to the yelling and screaming
Another somebody.
If this place is called home,
then let me sleep with no awakening.
She is one step away from breaking.
Breaking and taking everything she has.
He is screaming.
Screaming out for me.
It's time to run out.
No more bleeding.
