Time has Come…..

Black velvet

lined behind the eyes

try to outrace this nightmare

outrace you

only to find…..

You are in my head.

They are in my head.

All are in my head.

Sweet innocence

stripped away

frightened of this new truth

I run away.

I do not want this.

I do not need this.

I do not desire this.

Little girl

dancing in the streets

blood dripping

from the knife she carries.

Skipping here. 

Skipping there.

Skipping to her victims.

Going to make them shout.

Going to make them pay.

Going to make them all

rue the day

they decided to play.

Clenched jaw

biting my tongue

wanting to scream

to rage

to bring you all down

to put you all down

for the bitter nightmares you gave.

Hold her hand tight

keep her close to side

little demon girl

with nothing to hide.

My inner being

running free…..

She is going to catch you.

She is going to catch him.

She is going to catch them all.

Sadistic

torturous mind

learned

at the knees of important men

none of whom

wanted to be found.

Not with her in arm

child that she was.

I long to forget

to chase memories away.

Vengeance unrequited

little demon girl

who sought to protect me

had to go away

no longer able to play

no longer able to save me

she demands I stand on my own.
