shadows
You will ever never know what it's like the house shadows loom over your skin
I can still feel the ghost of your handprint on my body
Like Scars that aren't visible
But never really healed
And even though no one can really see them
I will always know that they were there and I scratched and burn at the night time
Hoping to for get
Hoping that one day your hands will stop torturing me
My body use to be clean
But now it's covered in old dirty
That just won't seem to go away
No matter how many steaming hot showers I take
And a physical touch from a man scares me now
So want dose that make me?
Broke?
I felt thorns in my tiny throat
That still wasn't devlopted enough to have a voice
My body is stained like leaded glass
Now I prefer to be in the dark then the day
Because at least the dark is straight up and hides The Shadow I don't have to see the markings of my pain on my once violated body and I wonder if anyone else has a shadow that just won't leave
