dear mommy why you crying,
what'd he do tonight,
i told you to stay quiet,
he was looking for a fight.
dear mommy where'd you get that brusie,
did he hit you once again,
i know your heart it breaking,
can i help it mend?
dear mommy why's he so mad,
what'd you do this time,
he acts like everything you do,
is some hugh crime.
dear mommy why won't you leave,
he's always gonna be the same,
he's got you trapped,
always losing his game.
dear mommy he's going to kill you,
i see it so why can't you,
you keep trying and trying,
but there's nothing you can do.

i don't think this expresses my feelings well enough. my dad won't stop hurting my mother and it's killing me...i love her so much but hate her at the same time.
Please tell me what you think

thats so sad... it reminds meof a song by nikelback: never again.....
"Never Again"
He's drunk again, it's time to fight
She must have done something wrong tonight
The living room becomes a boxing ring
It's time to run when you see him
Clenching his hands
She's just a woman
Never Again
I hear her scream, from down the hall
Amazing she can even talk at all
She cries to me, Go back to bed
I'm terrified that she'll wind up
Dead in his hands, She's just a woman
Never Again
Been there before, but not like this
Seen it before, but not like this
Never before have I ever
Seen it this bad
She's just a woman
Never Again
Just tell the nurse, you slipped and fell
It starts to sting as it starts to swell
She looks at you, she wants the truth
It's right out there in the waiting room
With those hands
Lookin just as sweet as he can
Never Again
Seen it before, but not like this
Been there before, but not like this
Never before have I ever
Seen it this bad
She's just a woman
Never Again
Father's a name you haven't earned yet
You're just a child with a temper
Haven't you heard "Don't hit a lady"?
Kickin' your ass would be a pleasure
He's drunk again, it's time to fight
Same old shit, just on a different night
She grabs the gun, she's had enough
Tonight she'll find out how fucking
Tough is this man
Pulls the trigger as fast as she can
Never Again
Seen it before, but not like this
Been there before, but not like this
Never before have I ever
Seen it this bad
She's just a woman
Never Again

*crushing hug* I think it's beautiful. I wish I knew what to say to help. Maybe if you let her read this? I don't know, but I hope everything works out ok. You can break the cycle simply by continuing to know that you don't deserve abuse, and neither does your mom. Even though that may seem small, it's actually huge; it could mean the difference between your future kids growing up in an abusive home or not. I really, honestly wish you and your mom the best, from the bottom of my heart.
one typo: line 12. "hugh" should be "huge" -
great write. this touched me. i relate to every line. thank you for sharing.
