That night
When she gets home
After work
and after an hour
worth of avoiding home
All the lights are out
She can't hear a single sound
coming from inside
But his car
is in the driveway
For a fleeing moment
Hope sparks
But then
she opens the door
You're late,
He says
He sits in a chair
in the corner
of the living room
faceing her
with a bottle in his
hand
Jack, his dear friend
His only friend
Sorry,
She opologizes
My shift ran late
She lies
Close the door,
He responds
She swallows,
closes the door
She's evolved
into pure darkness
Dad, I'm sorry,
She begans
Shut up.
He snaps
She is silent
She hears him take a drink
a long one
Come here,
He says
She does as told
Silently
Once she is in front of him
she tries to leave
To that special place
The place where she is a normal girl
With no pain
With no worries
And she succeeds
But only for a second
Because then
his fist greets the left side of her face
She can't help but make the mistake
Of
f
a
l
l
i
n
g
To the ground
A soft cry escapes her
only fueling his drunk anger
Don't lie!
He yells
above her
Daddy please, dont!
