[bodytext] => The violence rolls off him Wave after wave I have to be strong I have to be brave He grabs me and throws me And I hit the wall I land on the stairs And I start to fall Stair after stair One after the other As I hit bottom I pray for my brother He's only four Already in bed He can't take this So I take it instead I ran up the stairs And went to my room I hid in the closet Quite as a tomb The door was thrown open And there he stood He hit me then As hard as he could My head flew back And hit the door He pulled me out And I fall to the floor Hands around my throat I start to choke I hear him laugh As though it's a joke I can't breath anymore The world's going black I see the hate in his eyes And know I'm not coming back I pray for my brother Keep him away from daddy's hate Please get him away from here Before it's too late [comments] => 1 [counter] => 224 [topic] => 13 [informant] => JadedExistence [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )
