Vacuum

There is
No air to breathe
Or to conduct sound
No screams
No whispers to be heard
A pounding beat
Shaking my body
As I lie here
Watching him come closer...
Closer...
He's here.
And I close my eyes
Not wanting to see what comes next
Even though I know
I will feel
Every
Single
Touch
Time stops
It is cold in the basement
And I am
Frozen
Waiting for this to be over
Trying to think of
Anything
Everything
Else
My ear drums hurt from
All the screaming
But it's only
In my head
It would be my hiding place
For Three
More
Years
Inside this nightmare
Until I was finally set
FREE...
NEVER to be HIS
AGAIN
