This is a house not a home
For the girl who is listening to music with the volume all the way
So she doesn't hear her parents arguing.
For the boy who hides
As soon as he hears the liquor cabinet creak open .
For the wife who makes dinner for two in vain
Because her husband will have a late night at work for the third time this week.
For the baby who is wailing
Because their diaper hasn't been changed in God knows how long.
This house was built on words
Angry, Empty, Envy, Enemy
This is a house not a home.
Cheater, drunk, bastard, bitch
Which leaves little room for love and laughter
After all the lies and cries
This house was built on words .
Scream, scold, scowl
Basement of HATE
Attic of LIES
Bedrooms of ABUSE
Living rooms with no LIFE
This is a house not a home.
For the girl who doesn't want a serious relationship
Because she doesn't want to end up like her parents.
For the boy who has a court date pending
For his third DUI
For the wife who knows the rumors
But doesn't want to be alone.
For the baby who sees their social worker
More often than she should have to.
This house was built on words.
Time to find a new dictionary.
