As She Sleeps

As she sleeps
A man creeps
Into her home
And around he roams

Finds his way
To where she lays
With her child
His blood runs wild

Suddenly she awakes
To what seems like an earthquake
In her bed
He belts her head

Slashes her threads
As she dreads
Any harm of her offspring
With her might she tries to swing

Her arms at his face
As her pulse begins to race
As he tries to force
This unwanted intercourse

She frees one leg
And begins to beg
For him to stop
Suddenly there's a pop

Into the groin
With her infant she joins
In the run of her life
The pain bites like a knife

She escapes free
Her and the baby flee
From this fright
They made it through the night
