Raindrops on wood floors, sly, creaking doors. Bumps in the night, screaming with fright. Your blankie, grasped tight, eyes, searching for light. Shouting and fighting, bawling and hiding. You run, you cry, but you can't deny. He's here again, "Come, so we can begin." No, please stay away, I promise, I promise I won't disobey. You kick, you scream, you bite, you dream. But another night lost, you sleep from exhaust. Tomorrows a new day, maybe this time he'll stay away.

Raindrops
Raindrops on wood floors, sly, creaking doors. Bumps in the night, screaming with fright. Your blankie, grasped tight, eyes, searching for light. Shouting and fighting, bawling and hiding. You run, you cry, but you can't deny. He's here again, "Come, so we can begin." No, please stay away, I promise, I promise I won't disobey. You kick, you scream, you bite, you dream. But another night lost, you sleep from exhaust. Tomorrows a new day, maybe this time he'll stay away.
