I open my eyes and know no one is here,
I start to cry and my face gets wet wit tears,
Mom comes in and holds me tight,
She seems so cold and i know something is not right,
did daddy leave again?
Doesn't he know he's causing mom pain?
I stop crying and notice that mother is crying,
And this is all because of daddy's lying,
Sleepovers is what daddy calls them and mother is left alone,
Only my mother and i are left in this sad home,
i try to wipe my mothers tears,
My father not coming back is her greatest fear
they don't think this hurts me,
But they can't see,
That all this crying is because of daddy's lieing,
All of Mommy's tears and sorrows,
and how she dreads every tomorrow,
i wish i could speak and tell her not
to cry,
to tell her that everything will be alright,
when i grow up I'll protect her and make sure to never make her cry,
to make my mother smile, i will try.
