here we sit. another cold night
getting ready to battle another fight.
under the bed is where we hide
holding eachother side by side
we hear a loud bang. the door bashes open
here comes drunk

Daddy slurring his words spoken
he looks around for us to come out
so he can beat us. so he can shout
he finally finds us under the bed
and pulls us apart by the hair on our head
beating and beating, over and again
when will these brutal beatings end?
he gives my sister another smack
she falls to her knees, not looking back
i reach out my hand i go over to help
next thing i knew i was thrown into the self
my body colides with the hard floor
but Daddy doesn't stop, he wants more.
he kickes me in the ribs, my sister in the head
the floor now has splatters of red
but it's not over, it doesn't stop there
no, theres lots more pain that we must bare
"daddy stop, daddy please!"
begs my sister on her knees.
all he does is smile a eerie laugh
he's about to show us his full wrath
he pins us both to the ground
covers our mouths so we can't make a sound
he punches me in the face, hits my eyes
my sister lets out painful cries
finally he's done. he lays us on the bed
kisses us both on our head
"i love you" he says with his laugh
tomorrow night we'll face more of his wrath
he shuts the door. and locks it tight
the sun begins to appear. ending the night
we sit on the bed. holding each other again
crying and shaking. until the pain ends
hell has an identity. Dad is his name
and tonight. we'll be the same
hell is a person. we call him Father
we are his 2 little daughters
and here we are.

holding eachother tight

hoping this time.

we make it through the night
