Through the Eyes of a Child
Short brown hair
Brilliant blue eyes
Tall slender frame
Swaggering saunter
Mommy why is daddy swaying?
Ever leaning, careening
Mommy why is daddy loud?
Always screaming, leaving
Two long legs
Fuzzy chin
Blue jeans
Plaid shirt
Daddy why is mommy sad?
Always crying, lying
Daddy why is mommy hurt?
Always bruised, confused
Deafening yell
Crushing grip
Blistering Anger
Chilling stare
Screaming again
Can’t sleep
Bright red lights
Police man at the door.
Mommy is on the floor.
Daddy is in the car.
Taking mommy to the white rooms.
Daddy goes away.
Mommy where has daddy gone?
“Away, not coming home.”
Mommy why did daddy leave?
“He isn’t daddy anymore.”
