Dark Room

The time passes by And all she can do is cry While she can still remember Two years ago that cold December As his fury took over him, his feelings succeeded A lost battle she tried she cried and pleaded All over the floor the blood from her knees The scrapes she received as she yelled please No one heard a thing for he made sure of it Far from people in a room that was not lit Every thought that ran through her mind She hoped if she died her body they'd find He went as if she was ok with it Every time she screamed harder he'd hit Then she let go She stopped trying, She stopped crying, She stopped screaming And he drained all her pleading For he was winning He took over her He hit her more She couldn't go beyond the floor The lost of inoccence she will never forget Meeting him was her only regret She never knew What he could do And she is no longer alone in that cold dark room Her life she sadly has to resume Her parents still cry at night For they were not there to help her fight Her dad so proud, hard it was for him to cry Her mom so sad that her only daughter could almost die She isn't alone anymore No longer will she be on that floor But as thoughts come back Of the night that was cold and black Time passes by All she can do is cry
