Poetry For Bitter Homes

 

Day After Day

 


In the morning when the sun comes up,

I always wake up and see the shining light,

glowing through the shades,

of my broken walls

 

Going throw the hall,

following my soul knowing it will hurt,

seeing my father's eyes on a cup,

fill up with the sourest liquor

 

My mamma on the floor,

pouring out tears of blood,

with violet blossoms all over her face,

and two deep holes that watch me with no clue

 

Open the doorway,

obeying my soul again,

seeking for help our a place to stay,

knowing that home is hell

 

Day after day,

the story repeats itself,

with no ending at all, running in circles,

and ending at home again.
