i close my eyes

and hold my breathe

please make it stop...

i hide behind my door,

shuffle under my bed

please stop...

i whisper to myself

only hoping that you hear

over the aching pain

that lines the sobs

of momma in the back room

laying on the floor

please stop...

you cant;

as the monster inside takes control

the shatter of glass

and the screams that echoes through

my ears

becomes my lullaby to my world

where no one's there

please stop...

you never hear my silent pleas...

momma please dont cry...

the last thing that graced my lips

as i

close my eyes

and hold my beath

wanting nothing more than

silence.
