10:27pm

leathered hands on my skin

cold, searching, wanting

paralyzing my body

sleep hasn't taken me yet

so I'm jetted out into reality

10:50pm

keep your breath steady

hold back your tears

do. not. move.

just wait until she leaves

11:43pm

boiling water, suffocating steam

skin scrubbed red, but still dirty

never to be pure again

3:45am

stop shaking, stop crying

it's over now, you're safe

at least until the moon rises again
