The Perfect Family

Mummys' met a new man, I wonder if this will be different, all her other boyfriends have been, some what...resistant.


She puts on her show, dresses up and makes tea, shes smiling a lot, a desperate mother is all I see.


He moves in within weeks, calls the place his own, mother brushes me aside, hes it now, hes the one.


The beatings start early, as mother starts to cry, I yell at him loudly, towards me a fist flyes.


I wonder why she does this, at only 3 years old, I wonder why she'd do this, risk our lives, risk it all.


I tell her hes a meanie, as I run to my room, he storms in after me, leans over me and glooms.


I huddle in the corner, too frightened to talk, mothers bleeding in the kitchen, too scared to speak, to walk.


He grabs me by the collar, and shakes every bone in me, my little body goes limp, as I prepare to wait and see...


This is a normal thing here, mother never standing up, he finishes with her, then I take the rest of the stuff.


He throws me across the room, slams the door as I cry, I hear mother again, begging to him, "No, please, another bruise will get me fired!"


I hate her for putting up with him, I hate this horrible house, I hate the fact that Im stuck here, I just cant find a way out.


I finally get my battered body up, and I crawl over to my bed, I wonder if Ill see him again tonight, ouch, the pain, I think its my head.


I finally fall asleep crying, I will not dream tonight, its so hard to sleep, I hear talking, see a light.


Finally the light goes off, and I fall deeper into sleep, my door creaks open, hes there again, at my feet.


Im not fully awake while he removes my clothes, I stir somewhat sleepily, my eyes tightly closed.


I lay there in my tiny bed, as he wipes off my dried up tears, he takes me deeper into hell, he does what he's done for years...
