That Night

Everything was fine
just another night
til he walked in that door
and you started to fight
he yelled and screamed
you hit him hard
screaming back
you left him scarred
it is that night
i still see in my dreams
all that pain
all those screams
i still feel the tears
and the fear
cos you hurt my brother
i held so dear
how can you strangle
your eldest son
and say that you
did not make him run
he had no choice
but to leave this house
you lost my respect
and that of your spouse
chris doesn't love you
i doubt he ever will
you let him down
he'd had his fill
dad, I care
but I’m sick of being scared
stuck in this life
filled with despair
you lost your temper
as you so commonly do
and on that night
I fear I lost you
I lost my brother
and didn’t get all of him back
I feared my father
who painted my world black
thing is its still the same
I’m still scared & blue
just please remember
I’ll always love you
