So Close Yet So Far(Part3-Final Part??)

A laugh breaks the silence
One of menacing rage
I feel like I'm a wild animal
Trapped in a hunter's cage

''I hate to break up you two love birds.''
My dad sarcastically growls
''But lover boy's got to go
Right about...now.''

''I'm not going anywhere.''
My boyfriend sneers
He puts his arms around me
Drawing me near

''You should leave
Before things get worse.''
I try to persuade
I don't want him to deal with my curse

''Listen to your girl, boy.
Go on home.
I'm here so
She won't be all alone.''

''I don't trust you.
I don't trust you a bit.
I know what you're going to do
& I'll take her hits.''

Terror strikes my heart
He'd sacrifice himself for me
But I won't let him do that
He means too much to me

''Don't be a damn hero.
Just get in your truck and leave.
I'm not about to let you
Get your ass kicked for me.''

My father smirks
''Aww how sweet.''
He stirs the broken glass
With his clumsy feet

My boyfriend stares
His eyes cold as steel
I shake my head
Hoping this isn't real

''Just let me take her
Home for the night.
I promise I'll have her back
When I think everything's right.''

''She's not going anywhere.
She's a worthless piece of trash.
She won't amount to anything.''
My father's merciless voice lashed

''Stop saying that!''
My boyfriend suddenly roared
My father's eyes narrowed
Please help us Lord!

''Don't raise your voice at me!''
Dad took a step further
His eyes were dark and threatening
He looked as if he was about to commit murder

I knew what was coming
As my dad tensed up
He promptly raised his fist
& I quickly stepped in front

''Don't you touch him!
Hit me instead.''
I stared down at the tile
Waiting for a blow to the head

I felt nothing
Not a hit not a blow
I looked up to see
In dad's eyes, tears were starting to show

''You really love him don't you?''
He asked out of the blue
If only he knew...

''Yes, Dad. I do.
He's everything to me
& if you lay a hand on him
You'll see how big of a b.i.t.c.h
I can really be.''

Without another word
My father turned and departed
& all the drama ended
As quickly as it had started

As I turned around
My boyfriend's lips took mine
I'd never felt so close to him
I wasn't far away at all this time.
