Silent Scream

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.
