Speechless

You stand there with your blackened teeth,

And pose with your knife so sharp,

You make my choices obsolete,

On and on you harp,

About killing me, my family,

I just can’t get away,

My tears flow uncontrollably,

My sanity begins to sway.

Your altitude is bringing me under,

I refuse to go speechless!

I sit and think and wonder,

Is this yet another psychosis?

I fear that my mind is broken,

On which you are reliant,

To me only you’ve spoken,

I won’t be kept silent!

I ring my doctor petrified,

She gives me some medication,

This man from who I’m terrorized,

Is all in my imagination.

A few days later he disappears,

Oh what a relief for me!

The man longer interferes,

Because him I no longer see.
