Tears

Tears we shed are endless,
they trickle down are cheeks,
pale complexion with blood shot eyes,
the arguments go on for weeks.

Tissues lay across the floor,
a bin filled up with glass,
fights that last forever,
hurtful things dug up from the past.

Broken homes left fatal,
kids growing up in fear,
left to deal with the heartache,
wanting someone to hold near.

Every cry is the same,
no one around to help,
the suffering goes on and on,
every minute dad walks out.

A hug or kiss never given,
a shadow that will never be clear,
wrapped up in so many lies,
left with forgotten tears.
