But You Still Loved Us
Tears streamed down my face
As I watched you stumble.
A cigarette hung loosely
Upon your cracked lips.
What could we have done this time?
Steam radiated off your skin.
Your fist shook,
They itched to make contact.
But you still loved us.
You showed that love
With flipped furniture
And holes in the wall.
But you still loved us,
As you screamed and yelled
That we were worthless.
But you still loved us,
Almost as much as the bottle
You tipped towards your mouth
Once again.
