"shut up you stupid little girl,
you don't want to wake the neighbors."
my dad screamed at me s
he beat the crap out of my mom.
because she had answeered the phone,
and a guy was on the other end.
oh, the many sleepless nights
scared to move not knowing what he has done.
here he comes up the hall,
so i scream for you, "MOM!!!"
there's no answer
has he killed you yet?
the baby starts to cry,
i try to hush him but its too late
daddy's back for more
more beating, yelling, and threatening.
i'm too scared to go to sleep
or to even go get help.
will he hurt you more?
will he go after the baby?
I'm scared to move,
scared that he will come after me next
the llast thing i wonder before i finally digt to sleep,
"WHY DOESN'T DADDY LOVE US?"
just to wake up and face it again.
