escape

A house as grey as stone sat malevolently in the middle of the nieghborhood, 

Deafening screams always cominv from within, but this time, not from where she stood 

Staring into the neighbor's window, through the faint light she could see 

A man in an army uniform enter the room and his son greet him with ecstacy 

Howling and thundering abruptly intruded her thoughts from one story below 

She hated this, not getting a moment of solitude, surely her parents know 

Know, that it is not the booze and the poison they should now be worried about 

But the quiet girl with a blonde head of curls, with a razor; too meek to shout out 

Down the street lived the charming boy who'd always been obliging to listen 

He would never know how her lips would feel upon his as she licked them so they glistened 

How an adolescent, so young, could be filled with so much grief, heartache or tribulations 

Hiding truth in her soul, where it will stay with her til the grave, a course about to take action. 

How the neighbors or passerby could let the screams commence night after night after night 

What happened to her after school or did they just assume they'd see her again in daylight 

All assumptions, she assumed no one cared except Him, which was all she needed to believe 

Hearing her parents one last time then inquiring to Him, "Have I done all I could achieve?" 

All she dreamed of was tranquility and peace for once; she knew this life was ending 

In doing so that God could give her all she dreamed of and more; with a razor impending 

Looking out the window once more for a glimpse of true family, happiness, comfort 

She caught the young boy looking at her, piercing eyes with a heavy heart, almost a look of hurt 

She furrowed the razor deep into her collar to finally escape all the pain 

Police reports said a moment of hysteria, but she and the boy knew she was almost sane 

When asked about what he saw the only words he uttered were these, "I saw her unhappy looking out her window, slit her throat, then she fell. Her body may be on the ground, but I saw her fall up, because I think God wanted her to escape her Hell."
