When Daddy Comes Home

She sits alone

Behind the couch.

The little girl

And her kitty.

She listens to

Her daddy screaming.

She watches him hit her mommy.

She waits for him to find her.

When daddy leaves,

He comes home mad.

He touches her in mean ways.

He grabs her arm

And twists it around.

He takes her kitty

And throws him in the washer.

In the morning,

Battered and bruised,

The little girl awakes.

She runs to the washer

To save her kitty.

She runs to her mommy,

Hurt and lonely.

Daddy is upstairs,

Sleeping in the bed

As always.
