Family Life

Inspired by my father sleeping on the couch. ((That’s the only bit of truth, not to worry.))

daddy’s sleeping on the couch
momma’s drinking till she drowns
brother’s lying to make himself better
sister can’t do this anymore

daddy says he’s always tired
momma says they’re too much for her
brother thinks his lies are truth
sister wants something more

daddy never woke from his slumber
momma fell going down the stairs
brother went and left this place
sister’s left with the ruins lying in their wake

sister went and killed herself
sister went and died
sister went and killed herself
sister stopped this life
