~~~

Someone turn a light on,
there’s a darkness in my head.
I’ve been acting strangely
and I always feel half-dead.

I’m sleeping more each evening,
but my dreams fill me with dread.
Someone turn a light on,
for I wake in strangers’ beds.

Someone turn the light off,
for my conscience watched the news.
Another woman murdered,
by her bedside… were my shoes.

I woke today without them
and my clothes were bloody, too.
Someone turn the light off,
best not know the things I do.
