It comes at night
Terror grows in lack of light
Minds run rampant, compelled by fright
Of fear's omnipresent might

The hearts pounding rings in ears
You supress your precious tears
Unaware if it may hear
Giving life to all your fears

Oh so fragile is the mind
Of it's power we are blind
For it creates this fear of ours
Which comes to us in midnight hours
Trembling we will await
To what next it collates
Fear is a primal nature, raising hairs on skin, trembling you to the core, and making your mind and heart race. Our minds create our fears which only grow more powerful over the years.
Love is the color purple
Taking the shape of welts and bruises
Left upon my arms and neck
From stern insensitive hands

Love smells like alcohol and cigarettes
That hurl their scent from your tongue
Careening into my face
Sent from your bellowing voice

Love is the fear
Of what you'll do to me today
If you find out I went to work
And showed I wasnt okay
No rhyme scheme for this poem. Wanted write seriously with no limitations on the subject of domestic abuse.
I am happy
Yet you hold me back
I try and run free
Yet these chains hold me
Dragging me down
To the darkness
I've tried to escape
Years and years
Been in these chains
Holding the walls together
With bones and flesh
Still never good enough
To be set free
Its like a trick
You see the light
Then snap
Vanish .......
You're my everything
My all-seeing light
Even though it's dark
You guide me through the night

The phases of the moon
The shadows on our face
We dance in the lunar light
While both our hearts race

Holding each other close
Closer than can be
I love you tonight my darling
I hope you can love me
I close my eyes
And dream of a world
Deep in my mind
A mysterious place
Where I grew from the pain
And where I learned I could fly
Have I made the best decisions
Have I done all I could
Have I used the judgement that I have
And used it all for good?
try to be the best version of yourself... that's all you can do

— The End —
