as clear as a tear
the night of fear
the screams slithered through the house
the tears built an ocean
the lies andbrutalwords being shot at each other
the girl trembles in a ball in the darkness of her room
her throat soar from screaming
her eyes big, red, and scared
there she sat she could not remember a time she had been so terrified
screaming for her mom to come back
afraid to be left alone with thedemonso close
her heart cut open and bleeding
she didn't realize what happened next
it happened all too fast
she didn't think straight
afraid the demon would get her and hurt her again
she hurt herself first
picking up the knife
she thrust it down deep into her wrist
making it deeper and longer as seconds passed
then it came to her
what she just did
the pain sunk in
she clutched her wrist
and screamed in her misery and pain
bloodseepedout
but still the demon was close
that night she kept the knife close
not to hurt her but the demon
afraid and hurt she cried all night
exhausting herself
she remembers that night
as clear as a tear
the night of fear.
