Scares Left Behind

It has infested itself inside my brain. 
Day by day it drives me insane. 
All these lies and things you say. 
All these fights and useless prays.
 I want to leave but I'm too scared. 
I'm so paranoid even when your not there. 
After weeks of secret talk.
 With sneeking out and secret walks. 
Theres only one way out of here.
 Its to get rid of the problem I fear.
 So I take out the gun you always keep. 
With shaking hands, I shoot you while you 
sleep.
 Walking out without a sound. 
I leave the house, no turning around.
 I never felt so free covered in red.
 All my scars are left lifless on my bed.
