Cry

~ Cry ~


Clothes ripping
I am struggling
I can’t get away I can’t even scream
So alone
So very alone
I wish someone would come along
Make him quit
Make him go away
But no one comes
And he gets his way
And finally he runs away
First he threatens me 
If I tell he will find me
Should I believe him
I don’t know
I just know
I want to go home
I want to curl up in a corner
I want to erase this from my memory
Pretend it didn’t happen
It’s all so embarrassing
I could I have been so dumb 
Why did I walk that way
I feel so guilty
I feel so ashamed
I feel all alone
I don’t know who to turn to 
Who would be there 
If I break down and 

~ Cry ~

Darkness seems to follow me
I wish I could run and hide from it
My troubles just seem to follow me
I want so bad to forget
I want so badly to pretend it didn’t happen
But there he is again
With that scary grin
It sends chills down my spine
I just want to get away from him
But I don’t want to 

~ Cry ~

I feel my world crashing down
I know in my heart that there are many who care
Yet my head wants to do all the talking
I feel like I am slipping away
I am starting to question my sanity
Everything seems so dark and bleary 
The sun may be shining 
But to me it is ever so grey
I feel a lump in my throat a forming
But I don’t want to 

~ Cry ~

Alone and scared
A part of me starts to wake up inside
A glimmer of hope
As I make that first call
Ready to reach out
Hoping someone will be there
To comfort me
To listen as I talk
Or just be there
So I won’t feel alone
As I know now 
I can’t get through this alone
It is just to much
For one person to deal with
I hear the ringing
One ring
Two rings and three
I am ready to hang up
As my courage slips away
Then I hear a click as someone picks up
She is there 
To talk to 
She listens as I tell her 
Then a small pause and 
She says she is on her way
I feel a little relief knowing 
I am not alone anymore
I hear a knock on the door
As I open the door for her 
The lump seems to get bigger 
Then the tears spill over
And I know I am not alone 
And this time I let myself go 
I let myself
