Try not to cry sweet child,
let me wipe those tears away,
dab them from your frightened eyes,
I saw him grab you,
throw you round,
I saw him,
I watched him,
I saw him leave you,
abandoned on the ground,
and I was powerless,
like a flat battery,
as he spilled his can,
while trying to find his drunken mouth
and I felt it in my heart,
in the depths my soul.
Sweet child,
I saw you as you fell,

There were no pleasantries shared,
You left in a flash,
I know not where you came from,
and I know not where you went,
Never even got a name.
It was such a scary dream,
I woke up in a dreadful sweat.

As I remembered how it felt.
When Mother's partner,
Had hammered her with a thousand strikes
And then,
after making mama sore,
he left,
barricaded the exit door,
he left,
after which a million sorry's were always exchanged.
They always were,
the cycle continued,
in a self-fulfilling prophecy,
