Felt from the heart

Fear

I close my eyes and all I see is him
His eyes like the devil , cold and grim
His smile sinister, twisted, sickening
Thoughts of sleep terrifying, me heart quickening

Afraid of the dark, afraid of the truth
Afraid to be alone despite my youth
Dreams twist to nightmares, again the victim
Bruises sting and bones ache all thanks to him

Now I don't sleep, darn't close my eyes
My heart still yearns, never mind the lies
I only wanted a love like the fairytales
All I got was bloodshot eyes and bitten nails

It's fear that keeps me up at night
Trapped in sleepless wonder till dawns first light
I know now that love is blind and all the same
And you played my hear like some sick game
