Unknown Victim

Suffocation
Overwhelming darkness engulfs me
Noticed by nobody
Desperation

Broken smiles and fake laughs
Forgotten bruises 
An abundance of excuses
A heart broken in unequal halves

Closed windows and locked doors
Missed messages, ignored calls
Stuck inside those 4 walls
A prisoner in an eternal war

A victim crying 'no more' 
Undeserved anger, unwanted touches
Deep within the devils clutches
Used to being ignored

A romance to last forever
Picture perfect
Their audience tricked
A captor ever so clever

Everything is getting cold
There's no way out
The only route
Goodbye to the devil's hold
This time I go alone
