Primitive Fear

I'm sorry did I wake you? I tried to tip toe past your door. Was it your conscience that woke you? Or my tears dripping on the floor? I know I muffled my sobbing.. My internal pain you can not hear. So it must be that your guilt ridden.. From how you threatened me with fear. Please stop, do not get up! I just want to get some sleep! Please just leave me alone.. I promise you won't hear a peep. I promise tomorrow I'll leave.. You won't have to see me again. I've no where else to go tonight.. But tomorrow I'm on the first train. I leave you as a bad memory.. But the pain suffered has all been mine. Stupid me keeping my mouth shut.. Just so you could gloat and Shine. One day people will learn the truth.. Because leopards dont change their spots. Sooner or later a victim will speak out.. And you will go down at all costs. I just want to escape you.. I may be weak, I may be frail. But I'll be there on the sidelines.. When your handcuffed and sent to jail.
