HE PRISONED ME IN MY OWN SKIN

Every time before I go to bed, I pray to sleep in peace

without this darkness that creeps,

but every time I close my eyes

like Dark Angel is trying to read my mind

because he knows he is running out of time.

I hear him whisper in my ear,

you are a woman full of answers

full of venom...holding in anger,

you have a story and I will soon find it

His voice is haunting with so much resentments.

I had to take a deep breath,-

and try so hard to get you out of my head.

I'm starting to feel all those old wounds

that cut me so deep, where I got all those images

where he left me out to bleed into the sea

he prisoned me in my own skin;

as he kept cuting me deep within.
