Murder

Hands clasped over my ears
I taste the salt of my tears

I try to block it out
Pretend I don't hear
The angry voices in the hall
I try my best not to fear
My sister's crying now
But Daddy's not done
And as I hear his voice raise
I know he's just begun
I'm hiding in my closet
Trying hard not to be scared
But I know when Daddy's drunk
His judgment is impaired
I hear his fists pounding
Her cries I hear no more
Then all is silent
As I hear the slam of the front door
I slowly creep from my hiding place
And cautiously open the door
My eyes fill with tears again
Her body's crumpled on the floor
The carpet's covered in red
And I rush to her side
God, don't let her be dead
I cradle her lifeless body
As I try to find the phone
But there's nothing to be done
And I realize I'm not alone
I look up to see
His malicious grin
And I grimace in pain
At the blow to my abdomen
I try to run away
Try to break free
But I saw what he did
And now he'll kill me
I crawl to the kitchen
Dragging him at my feet
I'm trying, I'm fighting
These waves of defeat
I will not give in
Not to this creep
I grabe a kitchen knife
And thrust it in deep
The look in his eyes
So cold, so full of hate
My adrenalin is pumping strong
I'm in an awfull state
I just killed my father
Murdered him with a kitchen knife
I murdered my father
To avenge my sister's life
