Another

She looks so small.
So fragile.
Impossibly delicate.

One would wish to protect.
Thinking the world could kill her.
You stand as a shield.
But the world isn’t her danger.
Not with her old man near.

But you don’t know.
You can’t see what she’s hiding.
You only know that she’s happy.
At least when you’re around.

But late one night, you miss her.
So much that you appear at her window.
And finally see what she’s been hiding.

A staggering, beast of a man.
Violence radiating from his fist.
And the center of your universe…
No hope in her crying eyes.


This, you cannot handle.
Unable to control your instincts,
You jump through the glass.
And grab your little angel.

Together, you run.
Together, you survive.

Running on the love beneath your feet.
Surviving on the peace you both now hold.



Side note:Just another group of characters that have formed in my head.
