Happenings

Fists, Beating, My back.

Parent, Continues, To attack.

Mother, Runs, Away.

Father, Continues, The pain.

And then, It's over, They smile.

Offer me, Coffee, After a while.

I drink, It burns, My mouth.

My dad, Starts, To laugh.

I hide, Inside, My room.

Reaching, For, A phone.

Talk to, The woman, Of my dreams.

The hurt, Begins to, Dissappear.
