Lost father

Born into a family ;

A family of abuse 

A home of domestic violence 

a reverse was the case

Mom beating dad;

sounds impossible 

but it is 

so he ran

i saw myself ;

being beat up by a man I married

looks like father to child

I also ran

I laid down;

and then he touched me

my heart raced

i opened my eyes;

he took me in

shocked I moved

a tale he began

truly it was my father;

and a tale I began;

I wept, he wept

Seeing his lost daughter;

Seeing my lost father

hope at last
