Gone in a blink of an eye it can all disappear
Sinking into a bottomless pit
Gone the silence so deafening it rings your ears
Feet pacing trying to stay in the race
These woods are so dense your feet start to pound
Gone separated from all things that were considered home
Running from those that use to be close
Is this really the way things are meant to be?
Gone the ones I loved most are nowhere in sight
Hunted by the man I thought was the one
Until his eyes were darker than the barrel of the gun
My urge and will to fight dissipates
Until the voices say the scrooge is coming
Snaps of branches and the crunch of dead leaves
When I finally decide to flee the scene
Is this really the way things are going to be?
Gone goes the sparkle that once filled his eyes
So bright and vibrant they can fill the sky
But the wind so chilling so cool so crisp suffocating me
With every breath I take
Gone my heart goes running to the ground
Is this the moment I feel the gun press against my chin?
Death comes calling me with the look in his eyes
Gone goes all the humanity he had inside
This can't be the way I die
Gone my knees tremble when I am put to my feet
Is this really where I reside
A glimmer of hope the sound of salvation
Gone goes the fear when he comes near to exchange heat
Coming in closer to say it was all a lie
Never wanting to hurt me but playing the devil's game
Manipulation and toxicity lacing his voice
Keeping his eyes on me to be sure I do not run away
Now it is impossible to leave him
Any freedom I once had is gone
Along with my trust vanishes and dissipates
Gone- forever lost-
Is there any way I can possibly escape?
When everything I thought I had is now Gone
