That Night

A dark heart took me to a dark place on a dark night 
Years spent breaking me down till who I was , was out of sight 
I can’t see all I hear is loud screams some of my own 
In my mind I am in a field running alone 
He, My angel looks at me to take his hand somewhere in the light 
But then he smiles and takes back his hand and tells me to keep the fight 
His smile so bright it delivered hope 
Gave me the strength to survive and cope 
Never knew love hurts of shades black and blue
As I lay on the ground getting stepped on like gum on his shoe 
My tears were begging god to see me through 
I promised if I survived I would start new 
Over the sound of insults I am numb 
Echoes “No one wants you , You’re pathetic and dumb”
He hated me , I've never seen so much hate 
He wanted me to die but who is he to choose my fate ?
I ran though I was weak and full of fear 
I saw the devil in his face but I knew my angel was here 
I locked the wooden door that was flimsy as I trembled.
A broken woman is that what I resembled?.
This wasn't the first time I was put to sleep in pieces 
With a cut lip and a black eye as my heart races 
This wasn't the first time I was told I was worthless 
Or choked till I was left breathless 
But I promise it will be the last, I will deal 
I will put my shame to rest and I won’t be afraid to feel 
I will work up the courage to look myself in the eyes again and smile 
I will forgive myself even if it takes a while

Nameless

I stood there still 
Sunset sunrise 
Bodies dropped tired 
Side by side 
I held them up 
Who’s behind me ?
I can’t see
Can I fall now 
I’m too weak 
I took a chance 
I hit the ground hard 
I guess no one was behind me 
All I felt was knives that stabbed deeper 
The cold floor 
Concrete
Blood .. Red as a rose 
My own 
Now 
My lips are blue 
And my heart is ice 
Punished? 
eyes blind folded 
Arms cuffed 
They send me on my way
Through filed of thorns 
Broken glass 
Bare feet 
I cry no more 
I feel no more 
I hope no more 
From the cold 
I am numb 
And though I am numb 
I can tell you it’s the worst type of pain 
To feel nothing 
I poke at my heart 
To see if It’s alive 
I breath 
I survive 
Whispering prayers under my breath
Screaming silently 
Till there is nothing left 
Save me lord 
From those who take but never give 
From those who look but never see
From those who hear but never listen 
And though I feel dead inside 
I live 
Lord save me from Me
