Restless Nights

It's hard to sleep in a house where so many nightmares happened
I can still hear the screaming
The crying
The pleading
I can still feel the fists
The metal
The burns
I can still smell the cigarettes
The alcohol
The weed

I can't so much as close my eyes without being torn apart. 
This happens.  Night after night.
I need to escape this living nightmare. 

This is no home. 
This is hell.
