See
head upon the pillow
eyes shut tight
warding off the sight
the scene playing through her mind
tears slip from her tightly shut lids
her rocks back and forth
her silent sobs unheard
they think she's crazy
she can't let go
they didn't see him die
the blood squirt from his neck
they didn't see the silver blade
or the evil in those eyes
they didn't have to hide
stay safely concealed
watching the life slip from his eyes
the nightmares wake her ever night
leave her screaming
to them he never existed
and her neither does her world
