Broken down with his words

Never forgotten words that run through my mind those days from the past that make me cry every now and then
none ever knew
none ever will
know the real story of what happened behind the closed doors
she cried everyday
and was terrified to wake up and deal with hi m everyday
she hated when he's come home from work or when he'd wake up and get pissy
when he'd say her name with that tone
and give her the evil eyes with the evil look
but it wasn't just her it was there daughter too
she stuck up for her and her mom
and dad just stayed mean and ugly
always yelling at them both
little brother never said anything just sat in the next room with the t.v blared or a video game in hand
to drown out the noise
daughter runs to her room as dad yells and calls her worthless again
she puts on the head phones and drowns it out with the music but the words will not leave her head
she is all confused
but her mom is still out there taking his blows and taking the mean words
he had never hit her before until that day
she cried and nobody knew why days later she wore it on her face her back was bruised and nobody said anything
the daughter kept her mouth shut
and little brother didn't know anything
daughter didn't think less of her mom but should she??
her mom had taught her to stand strong and to never let anyone do that to you
so why were they still there
finally after a couple months
we left and moved to a better place were i am now
a place were pain i no longer feel
i am no longer on pins and needles and i don't hold my breathe anymore
I'm free
Little brother still doesn't know anything that happened back then he never witnessed anything
but daughter witnessed everything
she saw mom on the ground and mom always crying she was her moms best friend
she knew alot she knew everything
i am at a place in my life now were i am happy to be here with my mom and brother with new friends i love to death and a family who i know will always be there for me
i am loved and could not ask for more
but what my dad will never know is how bad he had damaged me and my mom
and the problem is i know he cares about hurting me but i don't think he cares if he hurt her
