He sat behind the couch as his parents would fight.
He'd close his eyes to cut off the light.
Then wake up the next morning to everything alright.
Then next night his dad gets drunk and enraged
The boy back to his corner like an animal with it's cage.
Then one night everything changed.
His dad killed his mom as they pushed and they shoved.
Dad went to kill his son and the boy closed his eyes and prayed for love.
Then all he saw was his mother's angel protecting her baby boy from above.
