He Will Change
Location
"I will change"
He tells himself
But bottles are still
Emptied
The fights are still
Fought
His excuses are still
Made
And he doesn't change
"He will change"
She tells herself
And everyone
Around her
But the bruises are still
Hidden
The tears are still
Shed
And the fear is still
Felt
And he doesn't change
"I will change"
He tells himself
He won't be
Like his father
The cycle is hard
To break
But the memories
Surface
The scars are
Present
The pain is
Remembered
So he changes
