keeping me still

monday
           was about fear
about
           imminent escape
it is al-
           ways best to hv
an exit
           ready - it's what
is taught
           after beatings
and un -
           wanted touches
and un -
           ending yelling
even at
           an age where i
can just
           drive away - i
still make
           sure and know
hv a plan
           for quick escape
when it
           rains, when it
drizzles
           and ice forms
around
           our hearts when
it is
           sunny or when
the sky
           is mellow - still
monday
           came and went
and it's
           nice to go home
to sleep
           with your leg
over mine....
