Hearing your footsteps as you come to the door,
Knowing that it will be just like before.
The key in the lock makes my heart skip a beat,
It makes me so frightened I jump to my feet.
Not wanting you here I wish you would be gone,
A peaceful life is what I have wanted for so long.
The door opening hard and slamming into the wall,
I pause just a moment before running down the hall.
Screaming my name so everyone can hear,
A moment I dread for it fills me with fear.
The tone of your voice is so loud and high,
I wonder again if I will get out alive.
Punching in holes and knocking things over,
I cower behind the bed and try to take cover.
You know all of the spots to find me inside,
There is no longer anyplace that I can hide.
Grasping my wrist and pulling me out,
I beg and I plead and begin to shout.
Same old monster just a different day,
Under my tears I silently pray.
With one last punch everything goes black,
That is the moment I know that I will not come back.
