I hear my manic laughter as I try not to cry

but it slowly stops and replaces itself with tears

your words were my stability

yet you through them at me like knives 

Shock and fear overwhelm me as I watch you yell

through the old movie films imprinted in my mind

you and I are lucky I turned it off

before the movie ended

because the movie would have had a sadder ending

then the plot

but you should have been the bigger person

not your 13 year old daughter
