She Knows He Is Coming

She knows he is coming The man she loves to hate He returned to her once again He has been worse off late. Everytime she looks at him Anytime she dare He doesn't say a word He hurts her with his stare. She knows whats' going to happen When he comes home tonight She knows again what is to come And she knows it isn't right. While once again he takes her While she cries her silent tears He's rough with it It only confirms her fears. But when he's finished with her She slips from the bed they share And sits alone in the dark Safer now that she's not there. He awakens and calls out to her He wants her one more time She answers obediently to his call It is not her place to mind. So once again he has his way with her And she knows its not his last But if she does what he says It will be over fast. The pain is not just physical It's in her mind as well But she will never let it out There's no one she can tell.
