I could feel the pain on the inside. My body was just numb as I tried to shut him out, tried to take my mind away from this, tried to find an escape for myself, as I always did. A place where I wouldn't feel him. A place where I wouldn't have to take his wrath. But that was just a dream. A fantasy. Because every time I opened my eyes, I would meet him. His eyes.
