escape
May 29, 2019
i can see your father, drink in hand
spitting liquid apathy in your face
words that cut deeper than your favorite razor blade
i can see your mother
there one second and
gone
the next
leaving you to shoulder the heavy burden of his hate
and though you try your best to hide it
i can see your lovely heart
hidden by the storm clouds
that you smoke to find escape
