Nowhere To Run

I look around, where I am
Then it all comes flooding back
Memories, visions, tears of fear
The reasons I cannot stay

Though I have not anywhere to go
I am out of places to hide
Blindly, I run away, in darkness
Still living my life in fright

I am scared to look behind me
In fear that he may be there
To haunt my life once more
And to kill me once again

Inside I am bleeding
Outside I fake a smile
No-one will know just how much I hurt
So they continue to twist the knife

And I continue to scream
Silently to myself
For they must not hear me
I do not want them to know

Yet what am I to do?
What am I to say?
These wounds will not heal
Those scars refuse to fade

I am a living nightmare
Of every girls worst fear
Though all that I really desire
Is to live, like once was lost
