I layed in bed asleep one night
When i heard my mother scream
I flew right up with such a fright
I thought it was a dream
I heard glass break and tables move
As a child i had no clue
I thought what do i have to lose
And wen't to the living room
There i saw her lifted up
Completely off the ground
He had her by her throat choked up
I didn't make a sound
Tears filled my eyes as he hit her
He beat her black and blue
I saw blood completely cover her
I didn't know what to do
I trembled with fear asking him to stop
He laughed right in my face
I threatened to call the cops
But he hit her harder in her face
I ran to my room for my monkey
That my daddy bought for me
I crawled up in my closet
I prayed god please take me
Keep my mother safe out there
And Take us both if you must
But make this madness stop i swear
Or i am going to bust
The cops arrived and i crawled out
To see if they could help
They said she needed a doctor now
And all i done is wept
My mother wasn't moving much
But i could hear her breath
I thanked the cops so very much
For coming to her needs
A cop hugged me and smiled real big
He said everything's ok
You did the right thing as you did
By calling us today
I asked is my mom going to die?
He looked at me with tears
He said no she will be just fine
There's nothing more to fear
Hospital bed she layed that night
With me upon a small cot
I stared at her and watched her fight
And layed there in a knot
I stayed with mom through all her years
Of somehow needing him
His beatings to her made things real clear
Things then became less dim
He'd always say im sorry babe
Please take me back i love you
Hosptial bed my mom's best friend
Nothing i could do
I lived with this for many years
from nine until seventeen
After this there were no tears
And grew my self esteem
I think back on life and i know why
I never moved to far from my mom
She needed me there right by her side
Those Bad days now are done and gone

Those times are the saddest... and I can speak from your mom's point-of-view, it's good to have someone there. Writting is the vent for everything, just keep writing, and gradually the pain will let go. Great write!
