A Plea

another new, can't sleep..april 21 2009

I hear the screaming,
I hear the shout,
I hear the panicked
looking for a way out.

I hear his laugh.
I hear my plea.
"Daddy don't do this,
please daddy don't hit mommy."

"Don't hit us,
oh daddy dear,
we won't cause a fuss,
we won't even be near.
We won't even speak,
we promise we won't talk,
we will be meek,
and won't even walk.
Just don't hit us
daddy dear,
please don't make us cry,
please don't hit us
daddy dear,
and let the days go by."
