Pages

Still
Awakened in the night
Breathing slowly, eyes wide
Peering outside at the trees
Stirring in the breeze
It’s a long way till dawn
Stumbling down the hall
Was it him oh was it him?
Come to hurt her again
These are the pages of my life
These are the pages of a life less satisfied
Pages of my life
These are the pages of a life less satisfied
Torn inside she’s beaten and bruised
Barely alive with irregular moods
It’s been so long since she’s cried
No heartbeat is she still warm and alive?
He hears the voices of the dead plagues him like a nightmare in bed
Memories of her voice stir in his head
Scenes of the past the where he is led
So much pain he can’t bear the sight
Its time to end this tonight
