She Can't Feel Anything Anymore

She was on the floor, her face was in her mother’s arms
She had said that she’d been out late with the boys
Just another evening, like every other evening
Everything is all the same it seems
Danny always called her on the phone for no special reason
Apparently
He could never tell her what it was, he suffered silently
Quitely
Just another evening, but his hands just couldn’t be still
He can’t control it and he cannot tell her why
Feel the beaded knuckles, feel the snap inside
See the rush of terror in her eye
She can’t feel it
She can’t feel it
She can’t feel anything anymore
He tried painfully, he begged for her forgiveness on his knees
She gave gracefully, but inside
But inside
She still bleeds
