I love you, I cried.
You laughed that mocking laugh of yours.
My heart shattered as you turned and walked away,
Leaving me battered, broken and alone.
I wept…
Every tear singeing my bruised eyes..
Every memory piercing through me..
Like a knife.
Curled up on the cold, hard floor..
I wept..
Until the darkness consumed me,
And there was…
Nothing.
In the darkness
The demons pounced…
Laughing, mocking.
I struggled to block them out
But I was trapped, gagged.
Nowhere could I turn…
Throat sore and dry, I could not scream…
Hot tears my only warmth.
The demons dug in their talons
Tearing at my flesh.
I closed my eyes and prayed for death
For that would be the only
Escape.
