"What's wrong, baby?" My husband asks, a look of fear on his face when he notices I'm silent. "I don't wanna talk about it..." Lie.  Every time he asks me that question I lie because I do want to talk about it but I can't.  He's in my head, knows my thoughts, so it wasn't just an empty threat when he said He'd kill me if I said anything.  He can kill me, before the first word even forms on my lips, with one thought: slow or quick, merciful or murderous... however He pleases.  I wish I could tell someone because this secret is torturing me almost as much as Him being in my head is.  This secret will affect me and the ones I love most, but I won't be any use to anyone dead.  I promised myself I wouldn't leave my husband to live life alone... and I will keep it, even if it kills us both...
