fetal position.
broken soul.
heart thats shattered.
but she swallows pain whole.
until 12: 57am.
when he's out with the other her.
the onli time to weep.
in peace with out feeling guilty.
because she can't be heard.
cuz us kids r supposed to be sleep.
but this night nocturnal state is not on my side.
so i want to go to her bed to reside.
and there on the cold floor she lies.
from the room door i peek.
silently because she would surely deny.
this action that i believe my eyes to to see.
i want to hold her.
and now i cry.
aloud?
r u crazi thats weak.
at least thats wut she teach.
and if i were to drift.
her sobbing would wake me.
im goin to my room now.
oh no i trip.
no she rises and begins to flip.
this is never good.
no i'll get whipped.
because he treats her like shit.
but when he returns she'll love him with every bit.
of strength she has left.
then he'll return to the other one.
leaving her with threats.
and i'll continue to pay for his shortcomings for years to come.
but not now, cuz i no longer bleed.
inhumane is wut she's made of me.
i won't take another lash.
for u being lacked as one of his priorities.
and damn she used to be my queen.
now my sweet is the past i love to leave behind.
