stare at the ceiling
it's late at night
no longer healing
nothings all right

daddy walks into my room
he smells like liquior
he laughs at my frightened eyes
tells me how he kicked her

daddy leaves my room
I go check on mommy
there's blood on her head
she's crying so softly

she cries into her hands
all covered in blood
there's blood on the tile
like a dark reddish mud

mommy packs her belongings
bids me goodbye
says daddy loves me
know it's a lie


*please tell me what you think*
