Hopelessly Alone
The floor creaks in the hall,
Bringing closer to me the thing
I dread most of all.
He is always there in the
doorway when darkness
appears.
My screams, he makes sure
nobody hears.
He takes what he wants, and
than shoves me aside.
And I'm left alone in my room
just to cry.
I know that he hears me,
sobbing in the middle of the
night.
But he pretends to not notice,
and acts normal in daylight.
Nobody knows what he does to
me when he can.
Everyone thinks of him as an
amazing man.
They can not see the demon
that is hid behind the mask.
It hurts to know that no one
cares, daily life is such a hard
task.
Making life seem right when
everythings wrong,
Is what he makes me do, but I
must go along.
With every no that I tell him,
and every mistake that I make,
He has his revenge. More of
me he breaks.
Mind, soul, and body he makes
sure to inhabbit.
Every part of my life, he must
have it.
Maybe one day the mask will
be ripped from his wretched
face,
But for now I can only sit
back, let him take all control,
and stare into space..
