He's There

Hes there
When I shiver with fear
When I shudder in the cold
When I cry myself to sleep
When I dread growing old

Hes there
When they abuse me with words
When they kill my dreams
When they convince me I'm worthless
When they take joy in my screams

Hes there
When I make myself bleed
When I think I'm alone
When I cry in the dark
When I can't find my home

Hes there
When the demons start to speak
When the walls close in on me
When my vision blurs
When I can't seem to see

But when I wake in the night
I take a look around
Where is he now?
He can't seem to be found

I lay back in bed
As I silently I scream
Realising too soon
It was all just a dream

Hes out there right now
But the question is where?
Of course it was just a dream
Cause hes never there
