Evilness Awaits
written: June 29, 1994
Somewhere in the darkness, an evilness awaits,
disappearing with the sunrise, for those strong enough to wait.
What is real, really isn’t, pursuit without a sound.
You silently lurked in the shadows, waiting to bring me down.
I rarely made it through those nights; you were never very far at all.
How many times would I lose the fight?
How much farther would I fall?
Our very existences clashed, as we each struggled to survive.
Your purpose in life was to destroy me, mine was to remain alive.
You grew strongest through the years,
left me behind, to drown in my tears.
Until I dug down deep inside, and found the strength to run and hide.
The nightmares diminished, but never disappeared,
I survived on a strength, born of fear.
No longer your slave, nor imprisoned by your will,
I fought a battle that was all uphill.
Now you have the nerve to say,
you want back in my life, just stay away.
This is now a game you will never win,
a life you’ll never take.
I’ll rise above you once again, for me and my babies’ sake.

Embrace the warmth of the morning sun,
...eternally grateful to see it come.
All night long, I waited in fear...
...praying for the darkness to disappear.
A blanket of darkness covered in fright,
...shadows by day, are him at night.
Countless times-I've checked the doors,
...dug deep for the strength to prevail once more.
Every sound-another fear inside,
...I am too scared to run, and there is no-where to hide.
I know to well why sleep never comes,
...until I feel the warmth of the morning sun.
