Mama

Mom. Hey Mom. Did I tell you I love you? Well, I do. Daddy loved you too. I miss him too Mom. But this man, Is not Daddy And can never replace him. I know your're lonely, But Mama he hurts you. How can you love someone that hurts you? You cover your bruises with long sleeves and makeup. You smile in public even though you cry at home. He comes home from the bar, And all he does is yell at you. All he does is yell And then he hits you, For no reason. Mama why do you stay? Mama your lip, It's bleeding again. Come on Mama, Let's go home. Our real home, Where we lived with Daddy. Him? He'll never find us there, Daddy will protect us. Come on Mama, WE're gonna go home.
