Far too much
She suffered
Far too often
He touched
Her innocent
Body ignoring
The screams
The tears
The blood

Far too long
She tried
To heal her
Troubled mind
Tried to finally
Let go those
Nightmares
She called
Her life

Let go this
Pain that
Still hurts
So real
She tried so
Long so many
Ways to forget

To not hear his
Steps coming
Closer in dark
Nights

Not to fear his
Presence all night
Long and then
Again
She cries

Again
Those tears flow
Again
Those fears grow
Again
She feels alone

Tonight
She will be
Going home

Tonight
She will be fine
And free

My heart
Knows to much
Pain
I’ve tried so long
In vain
To forget and
Get sane
I will be leaving
Tonight
But be sure
Every night
I will send
You my love
By the stars’ light

Tonight
I cry alone
Tonight
I eventually
Got the tone
Of her bleeding
Soul
Tonight
I eventually
Understand
What she
Tried to show
Me so many
Times
In vain
