Written as a teen.. ECA 1982-1983 remix/repost

She is all covered in blood.. Under her bed hidden She hid herself.. She ran from HIM. Mind closed Eyes wide Time to die.. Must hide Must hide No cover.. Evil finds her .. No help.. Only fright Something stolen on this night The gateway to her soul filled with fear.. Broken childhood despair Just a lost soul.. Who is to weep? For innocence taken.. Love forsaken She wants to live.. Yet hope... ....wants to die.. Dreams disappear.. within her clouded eyes. Clouded eyes that reflect tragedy and pain knowing there is no help.. In her world.. so insane She tries desperatly to remember her name.... She feels cold.. Emptiness in this storm of life.. No hope.. No sight.... Must fight.. This deep dark hole.. Iron grip has it's hold... Doesn't want to let her go.. So Cold So Alone So hard to feel alive.. Within the darkness of her clouded eyes The innocence of childhood finally died. .. ~ERICA

You elicit the emotions that you sought. Well expressed. I think you mean "iron grip has its hold" rather than "it's" hold. Thank you for sharing this. Love and peace, Regis.
