Morning is here. I open my eyes.
Screams are echoing through the halls.
“I’ll be right there,”
I whisper to myself,
my body queasy, tense.
I need to move
but nothing happens.
“You better come here right now!”
he threatens.
I whisper a prayer:
God.. give me strength.
But I’ve been strong for too long
now I fear I’m losing the fight.
I hug my pillow,
squeeze it tight.
You’ve been through worse…
you’ll be alright?
Another scream
pierces the silence.
I am on my own,
yet desperate for guidance.
I should move
before it gets worse.
Only me
can break this curse.
Minutes stretch into hours.
I think of all the moments
That could've been ours.
I never imagined
it would turn into this.
A silent battle
with no winners.
I sigh..
and finally get up.
One more day, I tell myself.
One more day.
Soon it will be over.
Soon..
he will go away.
Screams are echoing through the halls.
