I Know What it's Like

I  know what its like to be alone.
To stand motionless watching your life fall to pieces,
to be  defenseless against the terror you witness,
as the world spins out of your control
leaving you with no where to turn.

I have stared in to the face of true evil.
knowing it has come to desecrate my innocence.
As it slowly, painfully and eventually tore me apart.
Left wondering, was it  fate or just circumstance?

I have been controlled by fear that burns through my body.
My heart pounding in my chest,
I opened my mouth in an attempt to scream,
realizing I have no voice,
as I struggle to let out each breath.

I have felt pain that reached my soul,
separated my mind and body.
Left in a corner clinging to tear stained pillows
unable to control them as they silently fall.

I have had my hopes, my dreams
tainted by darkness forcing me to abandon them.
To lay with one eye open, fearing sleep
teetering on the edge of insanity.

So yes I know...
