Save Me

Save Me

Save me please
From these haunting dreams
Rescue my soul
That he left dammed for eternity

Each dream
Played from a memory
The last
Worse than before

Feeling his presence
Afraid to sleep
Knowing whole heartedly
That he once tried to kill me

Seven years suffered
More than three years apart
Yet the damage is done
His memory haunting my heart

Save me please
From his hauntings
Protect me
Do not let me suffer
Yet another beating
