What They Can't See
Watching a child, watching the fights,
Crying my sleep during the screams of the night.
Nestled in pillows, overtaken by tears,
He'd never realize this would affect him over the years.
So afraid of this monster, one that I hate,
It comes from the anger so the pain it makes.
If only a mirror could save it to see,
This child is hurting,
This child is me.
So scared to fall in love, but tired of being alone,
I remember all those years,
And the pain they have shone.
Now no longer with faith,
But brave enough to say,
I can't ignore these memories I live with,
I live with them everyday.
