A Somber Memory
There on my bed, I crouched with my pillow
 Lying awake, feeling so willow
 A thousand tears falling on my cheeks
 Hearing the screams, ears couldn't be fixed
 Behind the wall, somebody wept
 Begging to go, I couldn’t forget
 I stood on my bed and peeped on a hole
 And saw dark eyes as black as a charcoal
 A man clenched his hand into a fist
 Jabbed a woman, she fell at ease
 He yelled and screeched again and again
 Nobody recognized the woman’s pain
 
 Her face went red and purple
 Body so helpless, so feeble
 The man’s hands never impeded
 This woman having no shield,
 Chained her neck with his giant hand
 Her breathing went shallow and strained
 As her body twitched in resistance
 
 The sight made my stomach quiver
 Crystal tears filled up a river
 Breaking my heart, smashing into pieces
 Couldn’t breathe, move or think
 My heart almost started to sink
 
 What’s the beauty with what I see?
 If things get locked, no longer free
 My life is ruined, completely over
 Filled with memories so somber
 
 Mom and Dad, where are you?
 Who’s that woman, who’s that man?
 Please stop it! Stop, Stop!
 I’m really tired; I’ll call the cops.
