cassie.
creaks and clicks signal his presence,
and i shiver,
fear steadily coursing through my icy cold veins as i wait for the distinct noises.
my lips are chapped and blue,
my skin pale as freshly fallen winter snowflakes.
my delicate fingernails are broken,
some even ripped away during my time with him,
a thick layer of dried blood coating them.
the rest chipped and cracked from struggling,
those moments i tried to find freedom,
find a way to escape from him.
they were hopeless,
all i can do in these seemingly endless hours is softly cry,
my tears freezing on my cheeks as they cascade down.
i see no reason to live in this moment,
i know he'll be here soon.
the tick and tock of the clock has told me that much,
he always comes to visit me at the same time each day.
everyday,
i feel myself grow colder,
more broken.
im not the girl i once was.
my face is an unrecognizable reflection in the mirror,
the face i see isn't mine,
it's a mask he's painted onto me each day,
taking away the light and warmth that used to fill my smile.
my face is no longer one of the beautiful,
positive,
happy girl who has big dreams.
he's crushed them all,
all the hopes that used to engulf my lovely face.
no more harvard, no more hope of a wedding, no more laughter.
im a shadow of who i once was.
i see no reason to pretend like ill ever achieve those dreams.
ill be dead by dawn.
my eyes grow heavier every hour,
body thin and frozen,
a thin layer of frost coating every inch.
malnourished and starving,
crying and heaving,
sobbing and longing,
for the sun.
wishing for my mother.
praying for my brother,
waiting for my fiancé to save me.
begging for a life that's trying to escape from me.
im slipping away from the world i once loved,
it's growing stark.
im dark and cold and freezing from the inside out.
there's no god.
there's no hope for me.
he's here.
im gone.
"goodbye, cassie.
you had your fun."
A/n: This story will be kind of like a series of poems, switching from person to person and going forwards and backwards in time, since I'm trying to practice perspective writing. Hope you enjoy!
