Chimes
Pain 
Fear 
Calls for a vessel for all this life
cries not heard,
pass of tongue over broken lips
mental agony, where to hide
pain has a way of finding you
remembered expectations
of blows to fall,
fascination with skin welts
rebellious tears held back
a mind cage

Leave me alone!!!!
Don't come back, spare me this time

Morning sounds, hand on my shoulder,
or voice calling my name
Don't leave me alone
do not abandon me to dispair
oh, this pain won't let me live, escape.
Who do you call for when your inner walls cave in?
Who do you turn to for succour and comfort?
And why is strange and wondrous
the word NOBODY?

Nobody there for help
and too many for the rest

Why is the mind so sharp
when you body hurts so badly?
Why is the shadow of a moon
a great gift to tear filled eyes?
Why is hiding the only choice left?
