I could see the soul
Drain out of her eyes
I sprinted towards her
Almost slipping on her blood.

Her delicate procelain fingers
Grasped at my white shirt
She pulled me towards her
And whispered
"Run"

I turn towards my dad
Who just kept the phone
An ambulance wailed in the distance
And I was glad help was near

Dad stalked towards me like I was his prey
He fisted my hair
And told me
To shut up and not tell anyone of his wicked ways.
