She Laid There Peacefully
I watched her sleep ,
And almost dropped a tear
Because she laid there peacefully
And all i wanted to do was borrow her ear
I wanted to tell her things..these things
That haunt me even when I'm wide awake
But she laid there peacefully
When all i wanted was to tell her of all the traumas I've encountered.....
Still in her presence..
How I'd lay on the floor crying wishing for a miracle to happen
My hands would shake when agony hit from mind to heart
I could still feel his claws tempering with my body
I could still see the pleasure it drew in his eyes
And i could still feel his member
hanging over my head
Waiting for a chance to force it's way in between my legs
But she laid there peacefully
Everything is not ohk
When the rain falls , i wish it'd wash my mind clean ...
And the rainbow ..paint colour to my heart
I've wanted to tell her of all the times i cried till i was left with no tear to drop
How I'd lay awake all night wishing i wasn't alive
How i watched myself bleed after every razor cut
Because i believed as my blood flowed the pain left my body too
But all that never helped
I'd spend days of tears and no one would notice ...not even her
But she lays there peacefully
When my heart bleeds
When my body soaks in blood .
