Do the tears ever stop?
The yelling subsides
he tilts the whisky back
dropping it down slowly
his face turns red built up with hatred
tension rises the room is heated
the neighbors hear the abuse growing
they hear the screaming
they see the bruises
your mind tells you to scream louder
but your mouth wont open
he brings down the rath of hell
apon your angelic face
your blood drips down
almost beautifully
the abused has silenced for tonight
and the blood has stopped
but the tears continued.
