Waiting  

Sitting in the dark
So scared and alone
I know you'll be back
As you are every night
I try to
To cry,
To scream,
To run
But my body doesn't move
I sit just waiting
Not knowing what to do
You come into my world and
My room
In your drunken rage
You raise you voice
And your hand
And take your problems way
From you
And leave them on my face
When I come to
My eye swelled shut and
Blood caked to my face
You say you love me and
How sorry you are
As I sit in the dark
Waiting
