one i wrote last night. this is the main character as a child
A Broken Home
On the cracked pavement a broken home
is examined by a child
He knows his Dad has returned once more
On the kitchen floor liqour bottles
are examined by a child
He knows his Dad has returned once more
'Your silencing glare
Denys me any precious care'
'And crying wont take
the bourban from your breath...
Or stop the blood
flowing from your bed...'
'Every night your drunken
words pierce my ears
But pleading for an end
wont make the nightmare..
disappear
disappear'
On the long walk from school to home,
life is examined by a child
He knows his Dad has destroyed it now
On the driveway of his broken home
death is examined by a child
His Dad wont be coming back anymore
The primal rage of a man
who lost his only cause
Strips his child's mind
of any self control
'Crying wont take
the bourban from your breath...
Or stop the blood
flowing from your head...'
'Every night your drunken
words still pierce my ears
But pleading for an end
wont make the nightmare..
disappear
disappear'
