On the Floor By Claudia List


On the floor where I am lying

kicked and sore and bruised

Never living, always dying

On the floor where I am lying.

 

On the floor where I am screaming

used once, abused twice

Awake at night, I lie dreaming

On the floor where I am screaming.

 

On the floor where I am sobbing

Tears fall to the ground

The pain becomes incessant throbbing

On the floor where I am sobbing.

 

On the floor where I look outside

the burning bright of day

All the while my thoughts have flied

On the floor where I look outside.

 

On the floor where I am afraid

of the monster that is you

This horror, that hate has made

On the floor where I am afraid.

 

On the floor where I can't escape

the agony I feel

the painful, bleeding wounds that gape

On the floor where I can't escape.

 

On the floor where I am dying

Slowly becoming dust

Forever shall I be here crying

On the floor where I am dying.
