Quiet Little Sister

Quiet little sister
I can hear his footsteps nearing
Pretend to be asleep little sister
Even when the doorbells ring

I can see your arms
Bloodied and scarred
That's strange, little sister
Mine were like that too

I know Daddy's hurting you
Don't try to fight back little sister
He'll get angry at you
Endure the pain so you can play with your sticker

I know you cry yourself to sleep
Little sister, I did that too
Walk slowly so you won't trip
Don't make a sound little boo

Quiet little sister
I know your scared
Pack your things and try not to pester
The cat on the floor we used to play and shared

How I wish I could be there
To sing you a lullaby
Instead, I have a story I should share
But its not as sweet as apple pie

Wanna know why I'm not there?
Daddy got angry at me
He threw a vase right at my head
I was bloodied but I managed to survive

You were still a kid and so shy
So you slept on your crib
That's why you didn't hear me cry
I escaped, atleast, I tried

But he got me little sister
He pinned me against the wall
He slammed my head on the wall because he's angry at his dead little rooster
Then he left while I was dying on the floor

Oh no, Daddy's awake!!!
Faster little sister
Take what you can take
'cuz now he's angry and sure its not fake!!!

Quiet little sister
Please don't cry
You're safe now
You're in my arms tonight.
