When she left his house
He tried his hardest to make every promise come true
Not putting even one of his faults in the spotlight
No one knows about the gun to her head
Much less the abuse she bled
Who else heard the words he said
Saw the nightmare she finally fled?
He tried his hardest to make every promise come true
Boom
No compassion for what he would put his children through
He aimed for them to hate her
For them to carry the weight of his pain
Failing to recognize
Destroying his children's mother
Was putting a loaded gun to their brain
Boom

Harsh, dark, brutal, sad. A poem too real to be ignored. Well done
Thank u. Too ignore these things does no good either. It's a harsh world from all different angles. Yet so much beauty
