Footsteps again
Hands gripping tighter and tighter,
A maniacal smile creeping across your face,
Suffocating me – making my brain scream…
and roar for its life…my mind is banging its fists,
Pacing, shaking, crying…lost in its desperateness,
And then I shatter…I loose myself in the blackness.
I fall,
My mind goes black then collapses in on itself,
Sucking in life again,
My heart keeps pumping, I keep breathing,
My eyes flick open and through tears I see you leering,
Smiling….laughing…laughter that is still ringing in my ears,
I rub cold sweat off my hands,
I stand,
My world tumbles…I freeze,
All I can hear is echoes of your cackling,
I wait until the madness passes and I look at you,
With blood dripping off my lips…
I look a sorry state,
I watch you smile and then,
I scream,
A hand slams into my face,
Screaming words puncture my balloon,
My balloon of hope….
I’m on the ground again,
My brain stutters as I think these words,
These words that can’t be controlled by rhyme,
I cry,
I choke on my tears as I hear the door bang,
And you thump down the stairs,
And as I cry, as I live through the sleepless night,
I am waiting,
For the next struggle of life,
I wait for the sign that you're coming...then I hear...
Footsteps again.

It is a good piece.
Your words are very descriptive. The way that you formed your poem is emotive and action oriented. Step by step you brought this scene to life. A good write that should be commended for such.

Damn I hate men that do this. I admire you and I feel your pain in this write.

Wow, very deeply written... I would never wish this sort of behavior on any single person...
Thank you for sharing
