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
