~Split Family~

Perfect family always happy
broken always down the middle
a hidden war raging under the surface

smiles flashing around everyone
yelling and screaming in the void of home
never ending circle of facades

happiness only in public
hidden tears rolling down
music loud enough to drowned it out

perfect family always loving
hugs and love seen in your eyes
threats and insults in my safe place

no scars to prove the anger
hidden mind that never speaks
perfect child hidden in the room

Pointless apologizes and promises
damage not able to to be repaired
love beyond all swallowed by anger

Perfect family split in two
right down the middle
leaving the crying child to linger in between
