I lie awake every night

Your scared voice all but right

The fear you show

Always grows

Whenever I think of you

At night your screams

Ring loud and true

In my mind I always find

The gun gets louder every time

His smirking face nearing mine

As he whispers that one line

"You're mine"

I'm his, that can't be right

You left me that night

But you always said that I'd be fine

Fine with him I hate to say

You were wrong

Now you're gone

Up in the sky

Safe and dry

While I sit and cry

Cry for the wrongs in my life

For you leaving me

For the pain I've felt

And all the blood I've spilt

Not his blood but mine

From the beatings I cry

He killed you, mum

Just like that

In front of me and dad

He didn't stop there

Three shots filled the air

I blocked my eyes

Hearing a soft cry

As dad dropped by my side

You're both gone

But I'm not

Why am I still alive?

He let me live to be in pain

But I'm the one who gains

I managed to escape him

Now I'm alright

With my friends by my sides

I have no more fright
