Cold dark silence engulfs my room
I hide head under a homemade blanket shield
Eyes red; aching with weariness
From screams we shoot and wield

Tears burn rosy cheeks
Fall like embers through the air
Bits of sadness sting my skin
Sear tissue and remain there

Demons living in my skull
Provide everlasting pain
It lingers on torso and limbs
Pours water down my chin like rain
