you hear something tumble down the stairs.
only eight years old, your scared to death.
under the covers, you pretend to be asleep.
the door swings open and mom stammers in.
Only when she is sober
Does she care
About me, finances, anything
Only when she is sober
Does she notice
The scars on my wrist, the scars on my heart
Only when she is sober
