Sorrow fills her eyes
As they do every night
After everyone leaves
And the house is quite
After her father is asleep
And her mom on the couch
Weeping silently
Into the midnight air
They all have hidden secrets
It’s only right
Her father does the unthinkable
To his own child
And her mom does the unthinkable
To her husband,
Reasons why she’s on the couch
They think she doesn’t know
But she does
They think she doesn’t care
But she does
Her father asked to “watch TV” tonight
She hates knowing
What is going to happen?
She hates who she is
Most of the time
They don’t know this
But she knows where her dad hides the gun
She walks ever so silently
And instantly
She’s gone.
