I hide, but you find me.
I escape but you capture me.
There is no love, only horror.
I found your notes,
on the gravestones of my family.
My mother, father and brother,
they are my town, my home.
You took them away, and tortured me.
I try to run, but you scratch and bite.
Pieces of my flesh gone, memories changed,
bones broken, and hope astray.
I hope you rot in this place…

You are a violent beast,
trapping me in this ugly cage.
You’re lethal, and delusional,
watching every step I take.
The trickle of blood,
falling down my neck.
The colors swirl together,
making an ugly black blank
of nothingness as I slip
from consciousness.
The pain leaves and
I waste away wistfully
into a blur of shadows.

Run, run, run, I cannot hide.
Pools of blood near my side.
Run, run, run, pools of blood.

You’re as frightening as a nightmare
pulled from the deepest thoughts
and fears inside me.
I now sleep endlessly,
as the memories
consume and
devour me.
