"YOU'RE A FUCKING BITCH! YOU WORTHLESS PIECE OF SHIT-"

"ME? YOU'RE THE ONE THAT SCREWED HER! CHEATING BASTARD. I SHOULD CUT YOUR HANDS OFF!"

Mum and dad were fighting again. This had been going on since I was two. One would think I would get used to this, but it never got any easier.

Every time this started I wanted to shout at the top of my lungs and maybe it would remind them of the people the were hurting. Tragically the words could never leave my mouth.

I heaved sigh as I walked down the hallway. The entire manor was haunted. In every room, lingered the ghosts of happy memories now gone sour.

Another sigh, as I uncovered my piano. If only there was a song that could fix this broken home. I would play it every day if it could make things right.

I put my fingers to the keys and played.

It's hard to wake up

When the shades have been pulled shut

This house is haunted

It's so pathetic

It makes no sense at all.

I'm ripe with things to say

The words rot and fall away.

If a stupid poem could fix this home

I'd read it every day.

So here's your holiday

Hope you enjoy it this time

You gave it all away

It was mine

So when you're dead and gone

Will you remember this night, twenty years now lost?

It's not right

Seven years of there unadulterated anger and no end in sight. Could they not see how their arguing hurt everyone? Me, my younger brothers and sisters, the servants were even suffering. And by the sound of it, a one of the maids was going to be out of a job.

What was truly annoying and senseless was that thy never fixed their problems, they would fight, kiss and make up, the pop out another child.

Their anger hurts my ears

Been running strong for seven years

Rather than fix the problems, they never solve them

It makes no sense at all

I often wondered why mum and dad always fought. I mean, they love each other right? They must have once.

I see them every day

We get along so why can't they?

If this is what he wants and this is what

She wants

Then why is there so much pain?

So here's your holiday

Hope you enjoy it this time

You gave it all away

It was mine

So when you're dead and gone

Will you remember this night, twenty years now lost?

It's not right

So here's your holiday

Hope you enjoy it this time

You gave it all away

It was mine

So when you're dead and gone

Will you remember this night, twenty years now lost?

It's not right

By the time I finished playing the piano, their fighting had come to an end. Every thing was peaceful for now. I knew there fighting wasn't over. They would spend the afternoon stewing and dad would apologize and make amends later tonight. But hey, I take all the quiet I can get.
