When They Fight

When they fight, her world crashes down,

Brutal words, hurled like spears;

Her smiling face is now a frown.



Her wide eyes, a dark, dark brown,

Pouring down, come salty tears;

When they fight, her world crashes down.



They fight so much she wants to drown,

Her heartbeat pounding in her ears,

Her smiling face is now a frown.



They hold their heads high, as if wearing a crown,

Just a way to hide their fears,

When they fight, her world crashes down.



Her smiling face is like a gown,

To cover bruises of several years,

Her smiling face is now a frown.



She has to find a way out of town,

A place not filled with so much drear.

When they fight, her world crashes down.

Her smiling face is now a frown.
