Daddy

Tears run down my chalk white face
Silent as I hide
Can't let daddy fine me here
Becuase I know he'll chide

Beat me as he always does
Then move on to mother
Then, last, he'll finish off
With my newborn baby brother

Shake him like a lifeless doll
And drop him to the floor
Take the last beer from the fridge
Then go out for more

The neighbours hear the cries and shouts
As they do every night
I guess they assume it's a movie we watch
Just for the thrill of the fright

But finally they'll find out
Where the cries and shouts came from
Because tomorrow, dead on the floor
They'll find my baby brother Tom
