Another Fight

Your curses echo through the house
Through the darkness they can here
He sleeps with her to keep him safe
Yelling shakes the house
The covers don't block the sounds
Every mistake is pointed out
Anger replaces love, hate replaces joy
This family is broken
All love is lost
Breaking of glass
Shattering of a little boy's heart
Cuddling close to his sister
Crying into her pillow
She keeps him saf
The door slams and one leaves
Which one of them is uncertain
Neither child wants to see
Which of their parents has left again
Sticking together
They fight the tears
Knowing something is changing
But scared of what shall happen
