My OperaA Poem (2)

Here's another poem I wrote
Katie (Domestic Violence)[/U]
In the darkness of the corner
And the darkness of the room
Katie feels in safety
From the horror that would loom.
Shouts of anger, and horrible sounds
From her mother's room, upstairs
And all young Katie thinks is,
"I'm next now, but who cares?"
"If dad were here, he'd see to it
That the guy would never try
To hit my mum so much like that
And always make her cry"
The noise becomes intense now
Then suddenly not a sound
Just the noise of feet upon the stairs
The feet of a rabid hound
Soon the door will open
And in will come the man
His right hand, a clenched fist
In his left, a beer can
"Why did Daddy go?
I can never understand
And why is this new guy here
Whose brain is in his hand?"
"Oh, Daddy, won't you come back?
Protect me from this guy
For my only hope this moment
Is that this time, I will die"
