I hear that sobbing in mama's room 
Papa is at it again 
All drunk and sweaty
Oozing of lover's *** 
Wearing a grin that tells of his escapades

Mama's eyes all red and sunken
Heart driven into shallow emptiness

What was she like ?
she muttered, countless times 
To a man lost in his lover's fantasy

I sit and stare 
staring at the empty spaces 
Papa is going away, I thought
Mama is gonna give up, I feared

I hear the sobbing again 
This time louder 
Papa is raining curses on Mama 
I hide and weep in my closet
Hoping it relieves&nbsp;&nbsp;Mama's pain&nbsp;&nbsp;
sobbing as mama sobs 
Waiting for Papa to be gone...
