Why must two yell
While a child cringes in the corner
Can’t they tell
Their arguing has worn her

The eyes can tell
The stories of pain
The cause to yell
The struggle the strain

But they don’t subside
They keep right at it
She’s done with the ride
She’s sick of all of it

She doesn’t hold back
The tears that come
She’s all veiled in black
She’s scared of what is to come

The parents
They stop
They see what they’ve done
But then one starts up
And all hell has begun

She steps out of the darkness
Away from the corner
And more veils of blackness
Fall out upon her

She’s trying to stop
But it just flows
Like a link went *pop*
And out the scream goes

The parents fall silent
They don’t know what’s wrong
Too enthralled in their yelling
To say anything at all

She stops
And she stares
Too choked from the tears
Turns away, and behind her…more veils

What is to become
Of the family now
It went from
Happy to this…how?

The veils of darkness can tell
Take a layer off and read

What caused these people to yell
Take a layer off and just plainly read
