Away

Walk in the room

and look at you

standing there with

that drunken smile

 

You stare back at me

like I'm a stranger

terrified of you

them I see the pile 

 

The mess you made 

throws Dad over the edge

I start screaming and pleading

people can here me from the Nile

 

You are sent away

I shead balls of tears

Father is heartbroken

I won't see you for awhile

 

Years go by

It's been a very long time

When I see you

All I do is cry

 

You are crying to

hugging me tightly

never leting me go

we start to head home

 

"Why did you agree to go away"

"I didn't want to hurt you"

"But why"

"Because I love you"

"I love you too,sis"
