Trapped

Conquered by the truth of lies
Entwined in the snares of his subtle grasp 
I faced him once before 
Bound by the shackles of his dominance
A tempest of fear rages within
I reach for the windows pale escape
In hopes not to disturb 
Frozen in fear upon the concrete floor 
A moist and forceful confining 
I’m a fleeting thought, lost in the void
I imagine no one will find me
The beaten walls refuse my surrender
All the while the doors unlocked
Haunted by the echos of my screams
I tell myself It’s not his fault
I sense him coming behind me
Colliding, my thoughts conflicted 
Persistent, I beg of him to stop 
My sanity held firmly 
Trapped in the hall of mirrors of his manipulation 
Molded into the shape of his treachery, my downfall
A malignant euphoria infects my soul
The violent shatter of my exit, 
Projected by the resounding crash 
My only consolation 
Sealed and latched
I’ve fallen within the cracks 
Troubled by his power unyielding 
Wallowed within my own conclusion
A life without you, I’ll continue yearning
