Throat
December 24, 2015
You aimed for my throat
No words could come out
Fist Released,
Now going for my right cheek
Cover your throat,
close your eyes
when you wake all the bruises will fade
Days gone by, eyes wide open
hands guard my chest
Intruders out of sight
yet,
before I sleep I wrap my body around my pillow
No throwing the blanket over my head
What if the monster comes out again?
Can I still shout with a hole in my throat?
