[17] - Just in Case

Love flows somewhere here,
Hidden in the screaming,
Hidden in the abuse.
Love is here, but it's hidden.

I always search, I always will.
But sometimes I can't find it,
I know it's here,
But it's slipping.

So I have a bag hidden,
It has clothes, a charger,
But not my love.
I keep my love with me.

They scream at each other,
I stand there, bag clutched in hand.
My brother is too young,
He doesn't understand that this is love.

That no matter what happens,
It was all said with love, this is love.
It bothers me too, but I have to be strong.
I have to show love.

Though in the end for me,
It was never really about love I suppose.
If we had left and never turned back,
Then the fighting would've stopped.

There wouldn't have been screaming,
Hitting,
Drinking.
But my brother has never understood that,

And Maybe he never will.
Maybe he'll just think this is love.
That this is the right love,
But it's not.

So I had my bag hidden,
And my love in the palm of my hand,
Just in case.
