I put my headphones on
To drown out their
                                  screaming
Just close your eyes
                                   till the break of dawn
And then it will be over.

Last through the night
Just shut off all emotion
You'll live through the fight
Just don’t hear the
                                                                ­  constant
                                                    ­                                 commotion.

Avoid the thought of pain
And think not of the
                                     bite of their words
Outside there's pouring rain
And their voices
                             fade into nothing

                  ,
                   dropping of the words

Thinking they alone are up
That nothing will be heard.
But not a single thing
                                      blurred.

I may learn to ignore
All the things they say
like my father
                         has a *****
And I may know her name.

The constant thought
                                      has gripped my mind
What if there's divorce
Think of all I'll leave behind
If I have to choose who
                                                        **I

                                                               love
