Broken Home
By Slicks78
I come from a broken home that remains together Fill the cracks with glue, so long as you cover it with lies They will believe everything is true Screams ring louder from the down the hall Doors slam and the pictures of us fall And shatter, scattering my memories of happiness Tomorrow wounds will superficially heal And the broken home with pretend laugther is real Say one wrong thing and you'll snap You're retorted words are a harsh slap In the face I've grown so accostom to Why bother to reframe the memories That yell out blame and prejodice Let the glass cut your hands Go ahead and bleed for once And feel the harsh reality of being alone, In your hand built, broken home Cover it all with smooth words Walk the walk, talk the talk It's a token, of unspoken pain Can't see the walls caving in This is the broken home I have to live in For now, for tomorrow, for forever I can never escape, can't break the chains The blood searing linkage, remains About my heart, I'll be strong outside Inside I'll fall apart, this is the life In a broken home.
