All I Can See Makes Me Feel

My eyes are drawn to their body language, I watch intently
   
    My heart starts to beat a little faster, and faster, naturally heating up

    I tense up my hands so tightly in a fist my fingers begin to feel numb

    I close my eyes and I’m a little girl, wanting to be loved by an inadequate father of bad habits

    I can still hear them, my ears are ringing, it’s a bad scene that I just want to evaporate

    I open my eyes to take a quick peek but the air on my wet eyes and the frightening image involuntarily force them shut again

    The hatred in his eyes sends chills down my spine

    My body is freezing but I can feel sweat gathering on my forehead in my hairline

    My mind screams for help but my lips are locked shut; My feet scurry to the nearest escape but I’m nailed to the floor

    The man casually walks away but the little girl is petrified, unable to move, alone, and heartbroken as her mother holds her hand tears stream like rivers from her bright blue eyes. Nailed to the floor she’s stuck as her leaves her life.
