After so many sleepless nights
Plagued by the terror
The terror you brought into my life
The terror that you inflicted
After so many sleepless nights
To scared to close my eyes
To scared to fall asleep
To scared to witness what I would see
There seems to be little that I can do
Little to make it all go away
Images flash through my mind
Images of you
Images of all that you put me through
All the pain that I will hold
Pain that will never go away
The terror of those past months
When all I could do was scream
Scream to the heavens
Plead to the gods
For a release from your terror
A release from all the nights
All the nights I lay in bed and cried
Begging you to stop
Begging for something to pull me through
Begging for the strength to walk away
Crying for a time when life was simple
A time when you weren’t around
Praying to a god
A god that until that night I didn’t believe in
Praying for mercy just a moment to hold on to
And when that moment finally came
I grabbed on and held on tight
I walked out the door and didn’t turn back
But still you followed
Continuing your path of destruction
Till even my nights were filled with images of you
Images that made me cry out in the night
Until my mind slowly started to fade
And the terror you caused slowly started to take over

This is so dramatic and sad and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I know exactly how you feel. God does hear the cries. Keep strong. The way you wrote this, the reader can feel the pain and hurt and fear. Brilliant composition. Sad story though.
