Storm
The sky is dark
Thunder and lightning
My eyes are squeezed shut
You’re engraved in my mind
Like the nightmares I can’t forget
I got a glimpse of the sun
But you dragged me back into the icy depths
I don’t want to die
Choking in your cold
Dead arms
I wonder if people ever look at me
And see the light
You took from my eyes
I’m tired of harboring your memories
The good ones
Tarnished with soot
From the fires in my mind
I hate that I still see you
I hate that you still look at me
Trying to run
But not fast enough
Being held back by a force I can’t see
Becoming victim to your razor-like teeth
And the needles you stick in my heart
Like a pincushion
The feeling of being locked in a cell
Scratching at the walls
The insanity clawing at my mind
Monochromatic skies
No light from the sunshine
This place is my prison
This place is a nightmare
You’re in it
But I’m fighting to wake up
You only hurt me because
I let you
You’ll never hurt me
Ever again
The sunlight peeking through my cell bars
One day I’ll make it there
