He is holding her tight
She cannot escape.
He would not let go
She is holding his gaze.
He said he would kill
She would rather die.
He will do it now
She said she would cry.
He gets what he wanted
She had no choice.
Could have let it out.
Could have found her voice.
Now,
he comes,
in her dreams.
She suffers. Her silence.
Scream.
