He has control

He may not be smiling,
he may be laughing,
his eyes may be darkened,
with hatred and fear;
the sky may be shining,
the washing can dry,
the screen door is open,
the glass on the floor,
she cannot look up,
She won't move from her place,
hiding from sunshine,
hiding from pain,
hiding from us and...
hiding her face.
He may not be handsome,
or have the charms,
but of her;
he has control.
