Pillow

I'm a pillow soft and stiff,
Her body wrapped around me
She's trembling 
And I'm struck beneath.

Breathless, I fail to understand 
What makes her cry and cut her hand?

Hold it together, I whisper to her,
But she can't hear me she's mumbling to herself!

Praying for her,wondering where her happy face is 
Will she live merrily or tangled forever like this.

Sun shining bright outside as I sense the rays 
She shifts a little,moans and moves away.

Mystery it stays! Now that her monster is awake.
Darkness has come over, it's all you have to take.
She can really destroy you with her rage.
Do whatever you can, she's ready to bring about a change.
