broken home

Contributed by alisanben7653 on Friday, 24th February 2006 @ 04:54:11 PM in AEST
Topic: FamilyPoems



I can remember it like yesterday, waking up in the middle of the night
I was on 7 years old, and all I could hear was the loudness of the fight
I look outside my door to see his hands clamped around her throat
For the first moment I wish he would have left just get up and grap his coat
This was when I knew nothing was right, and nothing would ever be the same
For a couple of months I thought I was the one to blame
But it was the alcohol that had a hold and wouldn’t let go
You didn’t see the problems, because this is all you know
Growing up in a home where alcohol solved the problem, and beatings were okay
Oh how I wish you could change, everyday I prey
You’ll walk in my life as quickly as you walk out
I thought this time you would really be there, even though I had a doubt
Well of course I was wrong once again always believing what you say
I should have known better I should have known you wouldn’t change you way.
I know you love me with all your heart, and I will forever love you too
But I don’t think you have any clue what you have put me through
All this pain isn’t so easy to forget
Every time I cried, and for my whole life I’ve been upset
Maybe someday you’ll be back, but I won’t let you in
I’ll try to keep you off my mind, your not getting under my skin
Don’t get me wrong you know I Love you and that will always stay the same
But I can’t keep living like this; you’re the only one to blame
And now you have another daughter, she’s barely even one
I prey that you will always be there for her, her life has only begun
Don’t let her grow up without a father feeling confused
Don’t let her heart forever felling bruised
I know how it feels to not have you there
I felt unloved my whole life, it just wasn’t fair
Everyday I wake up in despair
Always in anger I just don’t care
