My sobs abruptly end When the loud heavy trod of booted feet are heard walking down the hall Eyes wide, my eyes roam quickly around the room There must be somewhere I can hide? A barren room is my answer My heart beats faster as the thumps get closer Why is he home so early? I scramble out of bed Quickly brushing the tears off of my face The thumps cease right in front of my door The click of a lock is heard With a creak my door slowly opens Eyes wide I look into the face of the person Who has turned my life into a living hell He was suppose to be my Knight But has turned into my Prisoner He smiles sweetly at me my stomach twist into knots There's nowhere to run, nowhere to hide Plastering a smile on my face I greet my father
