A Childs Eyes
A little boy in underwear,
he's only eight years old.
Hiding there behind the chair
he can't feel the cold.
Hiding from the monster
in the corner on the floor.
Wishing he would go away
and not come here no more.
He's not dreaming mommy's screaming
he begins to beg.
Filled with fears still it's not tears
that's running down his leg.
Hiding there words fill the air
he hears his mommies cries.
Memories of yesterdays
seen through a childs eyes.
Just a little while ago
they're sitting there just eating.
Then the monster came again
to dish out one more beating.
Looking back her eyes both black,
her friends say it's a shame.
If they just knew bad dreams come true
as she calls out his name.
Frozen in the fear he feels
love is all just lies.
Torn apart a broken heart
seen through a childs eyes.
