when I left,
the pain finally stopped
but the screams from afar
still echo in my head
I hear you call my name
followed by curses
and threats and promises
I tried to muffle your voice
with a pillow at night
only to find me gasping for air
craving for life

when I left,
the pain finally stopped
but the screams from afar
still echo in my head
I hear you call my name
followed by curses
and threats and promises
I tried to muffle your voice
with a pillow at night
only to find me gasping for air
craving for life
