TORN

Mom can't eat

baby might die

dad's on the run again

but that cool, he's high.



Sister took a beating

from the man of her dreams

no one lifted a hand

though they could hear her screams.



Brother's in jail

once again for drugs

when dad's asked about it

he walks away and shrugs.



Mom's gone now

something to do with her heart

couldn't be it was broken

from a family torn apart.
