He keeps screaming
Pleading
Mommy
you promised
I cant andrew
Not now
She yells back
They are so close
But their lungs are screetching
To out weigh the sounds around them
Why cant we go
You promised today
Andrew you know I got bills to pay
five dollars isn't that much
it is she says
when your out of luck
he keeps on crying
she says you cant always get what you want
he asks then why did you pay the bills online
andrew honey
don't question my ways
those were grandmas bills
and the last of my money is on the way
do they pay you right
yes they do
then whats the problem
andrew whats the matter with you
mommy im turning eight
i just wanted to have fun
you promised we could go to the carnival
silent her eyes say
as they go away from his
i wish i had just five more dollars
to give to my kid
I don't want to hear it
the fighting keeps going on
all for what?
He's crying
And he's tears taste spoiled
They dont know
How to control
To not know the meaning of no
And now he's on the ground
And his tears mixed with dirt
He's better off
Not knowing how much his mother is worth
