Nightmares

Yet again,
Night after night.
You haunt my dreams
With just your appearance.

Again,
You creep in my bed,
Take
What is not yours.

Take,
What I will never
Get back.
Killed my Innocence.

Shattered my spirit,
Suffocating my
Dreams,
Silencing my
Cries.

You used
Your dominance,
To gain my submission.
I cowered at your feet.

I hated you,
With every
Breath I took,
I longed for your death.
