Sleep

Stabbing Westward

she's been here so many times before she can't remember



when she last felt anything at all but this pain and anger



she stares intently at the door listens for his footsteps



she knows exactly what's in store and the knowing makes it worse



when he calls her daddy's little girl she doesn't hear him



when he crushes her she can't feel her screams are silent



hides in the corners of her mind where she plays contently



she leaves this nightmare far behind, she escapes inside her dreams




floating high above her bed



staring at her father's head



wishing one of them were dead



so this hell could finally end
