The Woman In Lace

Leather covered hands 
And a masked face
Onto the surface he lands 
In his sight, a woman in lace

His intentions quite disturbing 
To rip her limb from limb
To the side lamp she does cling 
With a flicker the light became dim 

As a red fluid gushes to the floor
From a stab wound it does fall
Her screams right from her core
As he carried her through the hall

The man hadn't muttered one word
Looked as though his lips were bound 
The thought of escape was absurd 
The woman in lace was never to be found

A Cry For Help

The black of the night hid my scars
Taking strain I count the star's
As the tears burn through my skin
And his heart so paper thin
My soul tearing 
Him not caring 
 As I lay there in the snow
Knowing I am my only foe
With little strength to compare
These memories no longer could I bare
These awful thoughts much like darts
Send a sharp pain straight to my heart
I scream but no-one hears 
There falls more acidic tears

Sometimes I

Sometimes I wake in the night
Covered in pain, head to toe
Though this leaves quite the fright
I know my mind is my only foe

Sometimes I wake not once but twice
My mind too busy for me to get up
Trust in me, this is not nice
My mind is like a storm in a cup

Sometimes I cannot seem to sleep 
I cannot control the mind I have
The pain it brings makes me weep
I'd like to know why it won't behave
