Tears
On Your Face
How could anyone
ever tell
you
or possibly ever
begin to
explain
that there could
be no logical
reason
for the time you
spend in
so much pain
Some times
when your mom and
dad
are upset or
don't know what
to do
they look for a
place to
let off steam
and they find it
when they
look at you
They strike
before they stop
to think
of the kind of
damage that
will be done
when they raise
their voices
or a hand
to their precious
daughter
or their son
With hands
that hurt and words
that sting
over and over the
abuse will
take place
while you
silently wonder
how it can be
they look
right past
the tears on your face Author:
