Shadows Cast On The Wall... Poem by shelby alwaysconfused

laying here eyes squeezed shut,
praying to god that he can hears my plees.

hot and sweaty hands on my cheek,
i can smell the Shiner Bock on his breath.

i whimper, knowing whats ahead...
'shhh..., ' he whispers as he pulls back the covers,

'lets play a new game tonight...ok sweetie? '

im floating up over my bed... crying and screaming for this to stop..

...while daddy crawls into bed beside me...

i watch the wave shadows crash on the wall.
