She Waits

She waits
By the door
Wondering when he'll come
So eager, so loving
Not knowing what awaits her

His car pulls up
She runs up to him, long hair swinging
A smile lights up his face at the sight of her
He winced at the pain of what he was about to do next

......................................................

Tears roll down her cheeks
She's never felt so broken
Blindly she runs from him
But strong arms catch her fast

He holds her while she sobs
He feels like such a monster
Like salt being poured into an open cut
Never will he hurt her again
