Family
Same old fights
As the days drag on.
She drinks
He yells.
It’s the same old shit
On a different day.
They fight blindly
Yelling without care
Never stopping to consider
The other’s point of view.
She keeps drinking
Despite all he says.
She has a problem,
But refusing to admit it.
She wouldn’t be like her mother
Yet slowly her mother
Becomes more visible in her.
He yells at her
Then complains to his kids,
Telling them he’s leaving
Making them wonder
How long it will be
Until their family falls apart.
