Intoxicated and aggressive!
Tears are quickly streaming
from blue eyes to hardwood floor.
You are slamming all things.
Verbal and emotional abuse
is slowly killing happiness.
I have no control over you.
Screaming and anger fills the air
Can you honestly not see it?
Destructive behavior!
Why did this happen?
Slurred are your spoken words.
Walk straighter; you're stumbling.
How long will I be haunted
by the slurred words
and stumbling
that I see almost every night?
The pain you cause me,
will never be shown.
You will never know.
