2 in the morning
They are still screaming their lungs out
She barges into the room
The scarf around her neck tightening
"This is what u wanted, right?"
I'm crying in a corner
He's trying to loosen it, so that she doesn't choke
"Why would you do this to me" she asked him
Why would YOU do this me, I wanna ask too
Then things happen, worse things
I'm asleep..its 4 now

A new day now, it's all in the past
I go out and my neighbours ask if everything's alright
Do I tell her? Cry for help?
I was only a little child
But I didn't. It kept happening over and over again, but I hide it like a murder.
10 years later I still think about, suffocating in that thought. Wish I could help that lil girl.
