Silence The Night



            Evening shadows march                   Silence the night
             relentless ever deeper                Screams with tears
          Soon darkness and the cold                Silence the night
                  begin to bite                    Dreams with fears
         Fears creep round every corner             Silence the night
                growing steeper                     Silence the night
          Tormenting dreams will soon
              fill the silence of night          Body torn and bruised
                                              her voice reduced to whisper
            In her mind she's running         Shakes violently from shock
             hopelessly from danger                 at what he's done
              Pain filling every step         So her dream begins to fade
                slowing her stride                 as daylight blisters
          She feels the heat of breath           And she awakes at last
               so close behind her            warmed by the morning sun
             So desperate to escape
          find somewhere safe to hide              Screaming through
                                                   the silence of night
                Silence the night                Darkness holds closely
               Screams with tears                      until dawn
                Silence the night              Screaming kicking yelling
               Dreams with fears                       she'ill fight
                Silence the night                   'Till sunrise when
                Silence the night                 nightmares are gone

               Fingers graze now                    Silence the night
          on her body ripping clothing             Screams with tears
                She struggles but                   Silence the night
          he’s caught her in his grasp             Dreams with fears
            She bears his every touch               Silence the night
               with utter loathing                  Silence the night
           Screams ripple through her
         tears her breath a painful rasp             Jane Shields (C)
