Mommy was addicted
Always drunk and high,
Daddy looked upon his
Wife and laughed, “So am I”.
Mommy empties bottles
Daddy uses syringes,
Both empty baggies
During their week long binges.
Mommy is dazed out
Daddy is phased too,
Neglected little child
They’ve forgotten you.
Mommy starts the shouting
Daddy starts the beatings,
Poor little child and your
Unfortunate mistreating.
The baby lay weeping
In her darkened room alone,
How long before,
It becomes a broken home?
Years have passed now
You were taken from the home,
Away from the narcotics
And violence, which you’d known.
Mommy has one more child
Daddy has two more,
One after you,
One five years before.
Mommy never told me
Daddy never knew,
Now I know the truth
Now I know about you.
Mommy’s still addicted
Daddy’s drunk and high,
But I’m here now baby sister
Now you don’t have to cry. |
