Poems For the Damaged and Broken

My Winter Nightmare

There is no way out.

It's stuck inside.

The monster he was,

Is trapped in my mind.

Icy fingers caress my skin.

My screams are silenced,

By his cold hard stare.

His hands gripped my throat in violence.

But no one could tell.

No one could see.

How much that monster,

Truly terrorized me.

He urged me to do it.

He told me to end it all.

His words etched into my brain.

I've been bracing myself for the fall.

What was once a warm fire,

Was now a cold hall.

But I don't think I'm winning anymore.

He always makes my tears fall.

Memories stuck in my head.

Voices screaming at me.

I beg them to stop,

I beg them to set me free.

But they won't stop.

They won't leave me be.

So now I'm lost in them,

Believing everything they tell me.

He was trusted..

I loved him so..

But now it hurts so much,

To even see the snow..

So cold was his gaze..

So cold was the hands,

His hands that were laid on me.

Icy breath, rubber bands...

Winter haunts me...

Because of him..

Fear has taken over me,

And my light has become dim...
