Ignoring the Obvious
Mum and Dad
In a world of their own
Not thinking of the consequences,
that could force us to go
Mums mind is set
She's telling dad to get
But deep down I know
That will never happen, I bet
Dad raises his fist's
Mum crumbles to the floor
She begs him to stop
But to no avail at all
She screams out for help
No one seems to hear her call
Except for us kids
Huddled up in the hall
The place has gone quiet
There's no sound at all
I'm not quite sure
If that was mum I heard fall
Lights beam through my room window
It's the neighbors next door
Discussing the altercation,
they heard just before
I want to shout out
But I can't speak at all
If only my mum,
could just walk through that door
It's half past four
I've had no sleep at all
The neighbors must of heard my mum,
screaming at the door
Just hoping and praying,
they would do something
To save us from it all
This should not be ignored
All they have to do is call
And one day
Maybe some day
It will all be over
Once and for all .
