Fights
Screams and tears
ripped family time apart
like meat to a dog
Words
like knives and shattered glass
against paper
tearing apart our family
I hold Jayda and John close
In hopes to shield them
from the horrors that behold them
we screamed
wanting nothing more than for them
to just stop
and to care
"whats wrong dear?" My mom asks
I do nothing but shake my head
knwoing that what used to be a day was now a horror story
At least now were okay
even if its only for a minute
its more than it used to be
we smile for now cause we ;earned to love the moment not the day
because if we didnt we would never be happy
now we smile
now we're happy
right?
