Looking through tear filled eyes

 Every evening when she came home,

 She was there all alone,

 Until 4:00 o'clock when her father arrived.

 She couldn't run or hide....

 For fear that he would find her.

 And if he did...

 she knew what would happen deep inside her.

 She dare not cry, that only made it worse...

 it would only make him scream and curse.

 Finally when it was over,

 she would lay down for sleep at night.

 But all she could do was look out the window through her tear filled eyes.

 When  she went to school she had to make excuses,

 For all of the painfull bruises.

 She couldn't say a word.. all she could do was sigh..

 and stare out the window through tearfilled eyes.
