She sat in her room
Crunched up in her bed
Pulling the covers up over her head
Mom was out
Dad wasn't far
She sat and listened for his car
The sitter downstairs didn't have a clue
She was scared again
But what could she do?
No one would believe her
That’s what she felt to be true
She’d be quiet and not cry
God only knew what he'd do
She heard the car park
The door open and close
She was all alone now
No one around
She heard the footsteps
Coming up the stairs
She went deeper under the covers
Hoping to be spared
Then he came into her room
Reeking of *****
She knew what was next
As she pretended to snooze
He reached under the blankets
And grabbed her nightgown
She closed her eyes, and didn't make a sound
She went to the happy place in her head
Never noticing when he left her bed
She never came out
She stayed in that place
They thought she was crazy
She was so out of place
No one ever knew
The horror she'd been through
At ten she was done with it all
She was numb, she'd hit the wall
She picked up the knife
Didn’t feel a thing
Slipped into bliss
He couldn't touch her again
