Nothing Can Take Away

My mind in a whirl of confusion
Floats about the room
Searching for something that will
Chase away the bad feelings

Nothing can take away
The thoughts of the back of his hand
Coming slowly toward my fragile face
And almost breaking it into a million pieces

Nothing can take away
The fear of what may come
If I tell him my true feelings
And attempt to walk out the door

The hand would grab me
And pull me back in 
So I shall not escape my biggest fear
I would fight helplessly for my precious life

The hand would soon give in
Too worn out by it's satanistic deeds
It would let me go, 
But not without a good fight

Now that I am free,
I don't know how to forget
All of the horrible memories,
Is there any way to leave them behind?

I don't know now,
Nor will I ever know,
But someday they will go away
And only the good memories will stay
