Nobody's Home (CinqTroisDecaLa)

by Bryan   Oct 12, 2007


Nobody's Home

Every-night after work he goes to the bar for a drink
A couple of Bacardi down, helping clear his mind to think
Feels like Nobody's Home as she waits for him night after night
By herself she sits praying for everything to be alright
Hes at the bar tonight drinking, just hanging out with his friends
Beatings when he gets home, hiding bruises she tries to pretend
Long sleeves and glasses praying for pain to finally descend
Begs for it to stop the abuse continues, lower she sinks
Maybe she can end it all. Maybe she can end this tonight
Hes still at the bar and Nobody's Home, finally it ends.

The CinqTroisDecaLa Rhyme, a form created by Laura Lamarca, consisting of one 10-lined stanza. The rhyme scheme for this form is AABBCCCABC and a syllable count of each line is 15.
