Lighted Cries
Distorted feet slid across the floor
Empty words echo off the walls
The distorted feet stomp upon the floor
Emptiness held within the walls
His feet stumble loudly
Her name he calls
In the corner of the dark
She mumbles a prayer
Submerged in darkness
She mouths a silent prayer
Hidden from the world
Kept within his lair
The foot steps stop
As well as her breathing
The foot steps halt
Only hearing his breathing.
Light is slipping through
His agitation seething
Her heart begins to race
The doorknob starts to turn
Her heart is racing
The doorknob turning
Tears well in her eyes,
Face is brightly burning
The door cracks opens
Shedding light upon her face
The door opens wide
Lighting up her cries
He stares at her
Glaring evil in her eyes.
