So Close Yet So Far(Part2)

A hard pounding sounds at the door
& I pull out of my boyfriend's grasp
I know who it is
It's the man who ruined my life
Both present and past

The door swings open
& my father trips in
Alcohol is on his breath
That's his toxic sin

His clouded eyes study me
Hazy and filled with hate
What did I ever do to him
To make him this full of rage?

My boyfriend jumps up
Takes me by the hand
Places himself in front of me
Taking a stand

"What are you doing?"
I whisper, my voice shaking in fear
"Don't be a hero.
Get out of here."

"I won't let him hurt you.
He'll have to get through me."
His eyes are filled with love.
His voice is strong with bravery.

My father leans against the wall
Pressing the bottle to his lips
He chugs the fiery liquor
Never taking small sips

After he finishes
He flings the glass to the ground
As it shatters
It makes an evil sound

My dad's eyes pierce me
Filled with anger
I know my boyfriend's got to get out of here
His putting his life in great danger

"You need to leave.
Don't risk yourself for me.
My dad's not playing.
Look in his eyes, can't you see?"

My boyfriend smiles down at me
I don't see how
In my heart I know
He's got to leave now!

"I love you.
I'll stay here all night.
I'm not going to leave you
Until I know everything will be alright."

He's hand tightens slightly on mine
I've never felt so close to him
Yet so far away at the same time
