The Gentle Mouse

I fell into your trap without choice
A gentle mouse tortured by the hungry beast
I didn't know how to turn away
You were always there on my mind
No matter what I did.
I wanted you gone
I wanted you to leave me be
But how could I fight you?
With your threatening words that
Haunt me to this day.
I'm broken because of you
I'm scared to be alone
Because of you.
Now in my mind, a gentle rain always remains.
A dark cloud hovers over my head
I feel you everywhere I go
A ghost of my nightmares
I hope you regret how you tortured me
I hope you realize that
Forgiveness is far away.
I hope you care.
I have nothing more to say to you
Nothing I say will matter to you.
You are the beast in the nightmares
I am the mouse that cowers from the fear
Of being uncovered.
