No More Promises
NO MORE PROMISES
Unable to focus, to feel, to speak,
"Won't happen again,he promised last week.
I cannot believe he hit me once more.
Punched in the face, fell down to the floor
"Won't happen again," he promised last week.
Unable to focus, to feel, to speak,
Daddy, daddy, stop hitting my mom.
She's crying, crying, Daddy be calm.
Unable to focus, to feel, to speak,
"Won't happen again.”,He promised last week.
Oh, I'm so sorry, I do love you so!
So sorry, sorry, Wake up. Don't Go.
"Won't happen again.", he promised too late.
I promise....
I promise.....
NO MORE PROMISES.
