Want to sink in my bed
Tears from eyes fled
To just disappear
Left with nowhere to go
Lost in music block out the world with my earphones
Arguing like their daily routine
Words like missiles destroys itself and what lays near
Hurt emotionally not physically trying to stay out of the clear
Wouldn't be the first time
Want to hide
Not picking sides
Locking themselves in the closet leaving me outside
Can still hear their raging voices that lays on the inside
Try to act it off like everything's okay
There's nothing left to say
But to just listen
Maybe hear what you're a missing
Speak to get a different person
Know why they fight the reason
Nothing I can do
Brother knows too
Desperation clawing at my chest
Tearing me apart leave me rest
I can try and recover
And not cry a river
I never had for that reason
Wouldn't be recent
Ever since I was a small child about well since I could remember
They would always argue and lash out him at her
Always been this way
I know its not okay
But there's nothing I can do
I am without a clue
Fear mingled with sorrow
Just want to huddle into a ball in a burrow
Want to help my mother
I ask if she's alright
She says fine after they already had their big fight
Usually ends with my father slamming the door shut
Left mother in mid sentence words cut
Or simply him muttering profanites under his breath
Gritted are his teeth
With a frustrated anger
At her
Her eyes often drift off into elsewhere
Used to often dye the color of her hair
Now just leaves it as it is
Wears it like an emblem of amiss
An amiss of her happiness
Make-up used to caress
Brung out her distinctive features and eyes
Now just wears it like a mask of lies
Mother's unraveled tears
Father's already drank beers
Lay inthe future of despair
While their children don't have any say
They split but why how is that okay?
The married pair
How much longer will they last?
Will it all be in the past?
Disappeared yet again to the closet of discussions
Right on time for their many sessions
Wake up in the morning
Profanites and brutal words of chastisement in the air menacing
Try and go back to sleep
They don't know I'm awake just another secret for me to keep
Same at night
Faces bright
With anger intertwined with anxiety in their eyes light
Just tightly wrap myself in my covers
Leaving only a sliver
Little crevice from the sheets to breathe
Tightly shut my teeth
When enountered with such things
A fight of queens and kings
Clench my body tight
Curl up in a ball know it ain't right
But I just can't take it anymore
Eachtime at me it tore
Find myself sleeping in
Bound to my bed pinned
The day they get a divorce
Will feel worse
To choose where the kids of the former couple may go
Which of the pair gains custody
Who goes where we don't know
With a madness that drives us all
One by one we fall
Dominoes in an orderly fashion
Wound open and gaping red
How will it be healed once again?
Just lay down
In tears drown
Eyes droopy eyelids heavy
Feeling drowsy
Body gave up finally dosed off to sleep
Counting little white sheep

I know the song "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)" by My Chemical Romance doesn't quite fit for the poem.I just decided to put it in with all the saying of "I'm not okay" along with me being a HUGE fangirl of MCR.So yea,if you don't like mcr or the song or sincerely both,then don't press to play it.~Just a little A/N from well..me
