Midnight (Nightmares/memories of child-ABUSE.)

Written by L. A. Scriver (Feb.97)


Darkness and silence,
Silence and fear,
Fear and pain,
Pain and terror,
In the night the demons descend,
To rest upon broken hearts,
Tormenting and torturing,
Is this never to end?

Darkness and silence,
Silence and fear,
Fear and pain,
Pain and terror,
Their wings wrap around the shattered souls,
Binding to them the terror they bring,
Banging against the door, demanding to be let in,
Please let this end.

Darkness and silence,
Silence and fear,
Fear and pain,
Pain and terror,
A crack in the door, a sliver of night,
Rushes of insanity, claws of dreams sink into the mind's flesh,
Please, oh please, let this all end.

Darkness and silence,
Silence and fear,
Fear and pain,
Pain and terror,
A hand reaches out to stroke the brow,
A kiss on the hand, fingers laced tight,
Light penetrates midnight, love washes away the pain,
Ah, at last, this is finally to end.

Courage and peace,
Peace and support,
Support and encouragement,
Encouragement and love,
Love and you,
Thank you my love,
Thank you my family,
Thank you my friends,
Thank you my Father,
At last the night ends.
