Down on Your Knees

You try so hard to hide,
Act like it was all just a dream,
All this pain you hide inside,
You could only scream.

They are waiting in the dark,
The shadows of yesterday,
Stalking you like a shark,
Hunting you like prey.

The silence feeds their souls,
The skeletons never died,
If you let them achieve their goals,
You'd wish they were no longer alive.

So seal your closet,
As they can no longer hold back,
The slow drip of the faucet,
Soon will make you crack.

Razor sharp teeth dance around,
Slowly tearing apart,
While you look for solid ground,
They eat away at your heart.

So where will you run,
When they finally win,
No more games or fun,
Just down on your knees again.
