Every night I flee
I flee the place most would call home
For to me the place is just a house
Every night I escape
I escape into my mind
While music follows close behind
Every night I drown
I drown in every feeling I've ever felt
In the feeling of unconsensual hands
Brought on by the memories in my mind
Every night I go outside
Into the dark as it holds me tight
Closer and safer then any person
Has ever felt
I can be me
I can be free
But thats honestly
Scary
I think of all the times I said no
And the times I couldnt speak
I think of all the times no ones listened to me
But then they treat me like I never said a thing
And I become a problem
I scream in my mind
Feeling left behind
I claw at desperate feelings
Of the smallest sliver of happy
I crave the warmth and safety
That I felt in your arms
The arms that are no longer mine
But still hold me close from time to time
I fade from reality as I wish to escape to a place
With no more pain
But I dont want to die
For I fear to be alone
I dont want to die knowing I always had to be on my own
Except for those short 2 years
With you.
