My Darkness

midnight shivers and
taunting dreams
darkness devours me
to silence my screams

my lungs fill with water
darkness holds me down
desperate cries for help
but i cant make a sound

choking on my fear
its hands are cold and wet
visions flashing 
of every shame and regret

dragging his jagged blade
roughly across my breasts
the feel of my warm blood
taking my every breathe

desperate to escape
i close my weary eyes
afraid of this darkness
my strenth quickly dies
