Lost in time

As I lay alone in a dark cold room

there was a shadow across the wall did it loom

tears and pain alone to hide

all the emotions kept inside

in my ear he whispered and said

in the morning you will wish you were dead

scared, frightened and seemingly done

here is where he will have his fun

eyes closed, only the darkness to see

upon this image his face did appear to me

along with all the torment and shame

here beside me he crept, he came

long lines of crimson running down the wall

his voice he let ring, sing, and call

two by eight and two by two

nothing to see, nothing new

crawling out of the depths he swayed

caught in fear, motionless I laid

crying silently into the night

filled with terror, absolute fright

thinking, praying, wishing he would leave

across my floor a body did he heave

tied down, wrapped in chains

totally helpless, he now had the reins

as the first rays of the sun did shine

he knew he could never have me, my soul is mine

the sun broke over that small distant hill

and in this room time stood still
