Abused every night, by the person
she thought she loved. She
herself to him, and he took
advantage of her.
She comes out with sunglasses
and heavy makeup. Her behavior
changes; she is quiet and secretive.
She wears long sleeves and is jittery
Locked up in her own home.
At night, screams are heard. Arguing
and fighting, everytime he gets angry
He blames everything on her. He
hits her and when he is tired, she
cries herself into a painful sleep.
She is too afraid to leave, She
believes it will break hear family.
Her daughter is coming of age.
She is noticing the hate between
her parents, and how the love is gone.
Her father looks at her, but not
as a father should. He notices
how she matures, and becomes
a young lady. She notices it too
she avoids him and leaves hints to
her imprisoned mother to leave.
But her mother is too afraid.
her fear has taken over now.
One night, a shot is heard. The daughter
wakens and runs into her parents' room
She sees her mother on the ground crying
and her father on front of her mother.
his blood spreads on the ground. A gun
right beside him. A note is on the bed.
her mother looks up at her daughter.
Blood and tears smeared on her face.
"I'm sorry" She sobs and grabs the gun
Her daughter screamed, but it was too late.
Another shot is blown into the hate
The daughter cries until the police came
She is all alone and was too late
to help or at least leave
with her mother by her side.
