These Walls
Beyond this door
and in this house.
If walls could speak,
these would weep.
There is no laughter,
there is no love,
There is only tears
and a young girl's fears.
She escapes to her room
and tries to be quiet.
If there is no sound,
he will not come around.
The moon watches
in the window near.
As she cowers in bed
and screams 'NO' in her head.
On the verge of madness,
she watches the knob turn.
His sweat fills the air,
all she can do is stare.
He draws her near,
more poison for her mind.
He drags her to hell
with no one to tell.
