My siblings scattered to ease the pain.

Leaveing my heart empty.

I call to them and only hear my echoe.

They're to scared to answer me.

So they hide in the darkness.

Watching me from a distance.

To make sure its safe.

They peak their heads out.

To only face the demand once again.

That corners them and drains their life. From their abused bodies.

Laying there lifeless.

They scream to me.

Go on without us.

My feet stop running.

Even though I promised myself that I would never look back

I can't leave them in hell alone.

Hanging my head. I risk going  back into the darkness.Once again.

Giving up my freedom to move on.
