she cried herself to sleep
every fucking night
the screams were getting torturous
a burden she couldn't bear
it usually ended with one slamming the door
and then the silence followed
she couldn't take the pain
even though she tried to hold on
her hands slowly let go of the bars
she had gripped with all her strength
the stitches she had made to her heart
were slowly coming undone
she prayed, even if she felt like breaking
that the road would be smoother up ahead
because right now all she wanted
was a figure to love her like the past
the divorce came in later than she expected
but she couldn't handle the pain
why must she go through the burden
if t isn't her price to pay?
she ran and ran
until her legs gave in
but no matter where she'd hide
her demons, they would find.
years had passed and they had died
her parental guidance gone
and all she could do slowly
was walk through life in turmoil.
