Dark images of clouded visions
Memories faded and replaced
A love not lost but destroyed
A violation of the mind, the soul, the heart
Trust betrayed by lies and deceit
Barriers all around
There is no way through
A love for seen
A death for told
A cell within a cell
A tear within a smile
Soul reliant
Death defiant
Used and abused
Nightmares haunt the night
The foul taste of defeat
The light replaced by darkness
Huddled up in a tiny corner
Searching for the answers
To the questions never asked
The tears unleashed
The pain unforgiving
Heart shattered beyond repair
Knees pulled up against the body
Hands rubbing eyes
Anything
Anything at all
To stop the pain
The hurting
The feeling of worthlessness
Of being unloved
Of having your life taken away from you
Calling out your name
A name that once brought a smile to my lips
Which now brings tears to my eyes
How to make this all go away
Wrap your arms around me
A warm loving embrace
It's a start .....
