Abuse Poem by Meredith Sheives

there is a demon coming near
swiftly and quickly
her feet stomp down
her eyes burn with a fire
there is a demon coming near
with every moment
coming faster
trapped in a corner
unable to move
the demon steps in front
her tongue black with jealousy
her eyes glowing with hatred
her hand slowly raising...
a sting
a sharp pain
growing slowly
the demon is gone now
i am alone
only the demons inside can torment me now
