Alone

The lights are turned off and it is still early in the morning. The sun hasn't even risen and we're still sleeping; however I am not. I'm restless. I know he'll be home soon and lll have to face him physically and emotionally and I'm just not prepared.

He's entered the room and I tried to hide under the covers. But not matter how big my blanket is, for my twin size bed, it'll never be enough..

He'll always be a monster and I'll be the scared little girl.
