A Good Night Sleep

It feels like flashes of thunder are in my head
As I sit here and cry my self to bed

I know I'm not going to sleep
So I get back up and cut my arm deep

I cry as I see the blood drip
I can't do anything but stare at my skin rip

I look to see if "there" around
But I can't see "them", not even a sound

I lullaby my self to sleep
And sing the words that my father told me to keep

" You've grown into a woman now...
You'll live in torture, that's my vow...
If you don't agree...
To come with me...
I'll grab you by your arm...
And show you true harm..."

.....Shhhhhhhh.........sweet dreams ......
