The unknown

I am confined to isolation
These four walls will be my damnation
My inner demons torment me
Alone with my thoughts they wont let me be

In this room I sit alone
They threw me in here so I could atone
The full moon is the only thing I see
Only these stonewalls hear my plea

The voices in my head rattle about
They scream in my ears “let me out”
I close my eyes and cover my ears
Being alone with all my fears

The walls are closing in on me
I put my face against my knee
“Its not real” I mutter alone
Here with my fears, I’m cold to the bone

My heart is beating erratically
My body is shaking dramatically
I feel the panic sinking in
Goosebumps sprawled across my skin

I need to focus on my breathing
In and out I watch my chest heaving
I pull my face out from my knee
I look out the only window so I can see

The full moon is so big and bright
Please give me the strength to win this fight
Tomorrow morning they will come for me
Only he can set me free

I look around and see all the gore
Of all the prisoners that came before
Bloody handprints on the walls
I feel like I can still hear their calls

I lie down and close my eyes
I can’t wait for the sun to rise
Get me out of this dark place
All of his rules I will embrace

Soon I hear the rattle of keys
All my blood begins to freeze
My heart is pounding against my chest
My limbs are groaning in protest

As I pick myself up off the floor
I face myself towards the door
Head down and eyes on my feet
I take the stance of defeat

I hear the click of the lock
Followed by a quiet knock
The door opens with a squeak
I dare not move my body weak

I see the light hit my toes
No emotion on my face shows
He hooks a finger under my chin
I feel disgusted from within

A mocking smile comes to his lips
His hands slide down my body to my hips
I stare into his dark brown eyes
All I can see are all his lies

He knows he has finally won
If I had only known when this all begun
But I don’t dare move away
As I stare at my fiancé
