With the love you have shown...

Alone I lie in the darkness,
Waiting for sleep to embrace me,
but slowly I feel him creeping,
Into my mind his evil is seeping.

I screw up my face and pray with all my might
that within my sleep, he'll not visit tonight,
but as always i know,
I have no control,
Just memories i wish would go.

So it begins, helpless and scared,
There's nothing i can do,
I'm completely unprepared
as what he has done begins happening again,
no screaming here will alert peoples care.

His touch i still feel like a razor,
intruding where it should not,
his breath like poison down my neck,
i wish to this day i had got.

Thoughts like that won't help me now,
nor will it numb any pain,
for life to go on, i have to be strong,
now i know there's no need to feel shame

For today i will pray for normality,
or the chance that i might forget,
if only for the shortest of time,
my life i don't want to regret,

So i sent a prayer to the moon and stars,
for someone to help me, to guide me afar,
until you were there,
with a warmth I've not known,
to hold me and keep me,
with the love you have shown.
