Love was never existent in my parent's marriage,
Never did I see one kiss or a happy smile not faked,
The only thing I know was the rage and anger,
Persistent, consistent, fights behind my walls...

As I tried to close my eyes and fall asleep,
Nothing could drown out the sounds of shouts,
I was a witness to each fight everyday,
Maybe it was about money problems or nothing at all...

The house was never quiet, never fully at peace,
Tears would fill me because I hated  it,
Memories of then are forgotten but I lived them,
I can't go back and erase the past..not sure if I would...

Don't want my tears to continue to fall,
Don't want my fears to continue to haunt me...
If I have to I'll runaway from it again,
Don't want to feel that hurt...my friend,
Don't want those memories of pain...

Can't forget but won't remember,
Can't forgive but won't keep this grudge...

I prayed it would all stop and go away,
Then one day it finally did......
But when it was completely over......
I wished and wished it wasn't,
So many wishes wasted that they'd get back together,
Those wishes weren't for them to go back to fighting,
But for us to at last be a family,
Something I've always wanted and never received.

And I'd like to ask...
Don't make me remember what I've forgotten,
Let me forget as it was intended,
My only defense against it is to forget,
This is the way things should be, always.
This was requested by for the contest that she won of mine. I had a hard time writing and there were several revisions made but now it's done. I'd say enjoy but this isn't the best topic that anyone could enjoy.

So...happy trails :P
