Like The Shower Scene From "Psycho"
While she was washing
the dirt off, Pamela heard
a crash and opened the door.
But before she reached
for that gun, someone grabbed her
arm and stabbed Pam seven times.

Confined to this hell.
Eager for some sort of light.
Too claustrophobic.

I’ve been slapped so many times before that I don’t even know when realization hits.

Evil eyes
His eyes turn to black.
The demon has awoken.
Fear consumes my life.

Rebecca heard a
noise, went downstairs and saw one

Under My Skin
You can see the bruises
In my daze
I find them beautiful
If hauntingly so
Romantic
Gifts from my lover
There are others
Invisible
Deeper layers of tissue hurt
So tender to the touch
My psyche is also bruised
In my daze
I find them beautiful
If hauntingly so
Romantic
Gifts from my lover
There are others
Invisible
Deeper layers of tissue hurt
So tender to the touch
My psyche is also bruised

Promised
The rains are here
Just like you promised
Shall I cry with them
Or remember
At least in this, you were honest
Just like you promised
Shall I cry with them
Or remember
At least in this, you were honest

destroy the silence
cycles of violence ~ are
broken with one word

So smart, so charming;
knew what you wanted like I!
Game brilliantly played.
I, hypnotized, fell into
predatory lies; hunted.

GET A GRIP
Get a grip
I yelled to you
Before you threw
Yourself at me
Get a grip
I silently tell
Protective hands
You bruised and battered
I yelled to you
Before you threw
Yourself at me
Get a grip
I silently tell
Protective hands
You bruised and battered

Blind Strike
blind strike never seen
can be harshly felt by one
but is sensed by all
