Pen to paper
Bottle to lips
Dream of nightmares
You'll never escape
Words in the air
And Tears on her cheeks
Speaking of times
No one knew happened
Cold kitchen floors
Gasping for air
Drowning in the memories
Of captivity
Fear for safety
Learning to trust
Breaking
Crawling back inside
Damaged goods they call her
Wounded and alone
Hiding her past behind a facade
Of normalcy
