somebody stop him

I’m sitting in my corner
looking over at him
he is coming toward me
somebody stop him

I'm falling to the floor
with a black eye,
he hit me again
somebody help me

I'm laying on the bed
feeling the pain
that comes from his abuse
somebody stop him

I'm feeling the pain
that he gave me
through his anger
somebody help me
