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

When she last felt anything at all but this fear 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

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

Hides in the corner of her mind where she plays contentedly

She leaves this nightmare far behind, 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
