hours turned to days,
days turned to weeks,
an hourglass haze,
slipping through the leaks.
40 dozen,
40 thousand,
my heart is frozen,
as i make their demands.
day turns to night,
smiles turn to frowns,
happy turns to fright,
screams are the only sounds.
marks unnoticed by public eye,
my body is solid but hollow inside,
my expressions dry,
when the door opens i hide.
his voice powerful and cruel,
his whip like a viper,
i don't cry cause thats just fuel,
after awhile the pain gets lighter.
its dark and dangerous here in my mind,
my thoughts are out of line,
its been forever since someone was kind,
its been forever, what even is time?
