Farthest from heaven, closest to home.
December 12, 2014
I keep wanting to tell myself that
these thoughts in my head aren’t
real but they capture what I see in
my worst nightmares.
Awoken drenched in sweat,
my worst fears appear behind my
eyelids. Afraid to close my eyes,
afraid I’ll fall into your once
loving arms, only to be bruised
and torn up once again.
I’ve been fighting the same old war,
I’ve been holding onto this hope,
as my universe falls apart. I’ll never
close my eyes. Not until you’re gone.

I wrote this piece based on what I read in The Retribution of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin. It made me reaize how badly Mara was hurt by her ex-boyfriend who tortured her, and how she deserves to take revenge.
