Hopelessly Alone

The floor creaks in the hall, Bringing closer to me the thing I dread most of all. He is always there in the doorway when darkness appears. My screams, he makes sure nobody hears. He takes what he wants, and than shoves me aside. And I'm left alone in my room just to cry. I know that he hears me, sobbing in the middle of the night. But he pretends to not notice, and acts normal in daylight. Nobody knows what he does to me when he can. Everyone thinks of him as an amazing man. They can not see the demon that is hid behind the mask. It hurts to know that no one cares, daily life is such a hard task. Making life seem right when everythings wrong, Is what he makes me do, but I must go along. With every no that I tell him, and every mistake that I make, He has his revenge. More of me he breaks. Mind, soul, and body he makes sure to inhabbit. Every part of my life, he must have it. Maybe one day the mask will be ripped from his wretched face, But for now I can only sit back, let him take all control, and stare into space..
