Dancing Shadows

She Silently waits in the darkness, Her punishment will come this night. As he come bursting through their front door, Her future no longer looks so bright. Trying to hide her secret scars Scars she wants no one to see, with his hands held tight around her throat, he said "You will never leave". Behind her blue eyes she silently cries, terrified to utter a sound, Her end is near, she knows that this time At his hand he will meet her demise. Their shadows are dancing upon the walls He pushes and shoves her until she falls. Praying that someone would hear her cries, She sees the hatred in his cold, unforgiving eyes. An eerie silence fell upon their home, He stood there staring at what he had done. As he turned in disbelief, There stood Carrie, she was watching, she was only three. The air is so cold now, its so hard to breathe Theres a heart wrenching sadness one couldn't conceive, There will be no more bruises, there will be no more pain, Because his soul, that's where her blood stained
