Waiting...

I hear the door
As it slams again
Announcing your return
This can only bring pain

Will you start to argue
Or will tonight be OK
Is it worse that I have to wait
For you to decide to stay?

I can hear your voice
As you bang things around
No respect for my family
I’m scared, so I make no sound

Will you get mad
And shout at us again?
Or just stay in your room
This waiting is driving me insane

I hear your footsteps
As you walk across the hall
I hold my breath
Trying not to fall

I sit on my bed
Listening to you sing
Your way of showing us
We can never win

I hear you walk
As you come up to bed
No considerations for those sleeping
Is what my mum said

Well I’m fed up of waiting
For you to decide
Surely this pain can’t get worse
If his feelings he no longer hides

Your constant mind f.uck
It'sjust not fair
You just tell us now
If you want to be there

Once that is done
We can move on in our life
No longer waiting
Or asking myself why?
