Terror Rising

Fears from an abused woman

Terror rising from deep within
What I once thought was love has now taken on a evil grin
Watching silently from nearby
He stalks me like an evil spy
My every movement he knows so well
He makes my life a living hell
Each and everyday he drives by
Not able to let go or say his final goodbye
A knife in hand
He’s living in his own dream-land
With every thought pre-planned
To kill me with his own hand
My heart races in fear
Every time a car drives near
Wondering if he will appear
I can’t sleep at night
Afraid if I close my eyes I’ll never see the daylight
Not knowing if this is the last time I will be able to hold my children tight
