I couldn't tell,
That day you came home.

I couldn't tell,
That where crying.

I didn't know what he did,
But I saw a bottle.. With out the lid.

Later that night,
Through the house's silent sleep.

I listened for fighting,
I couldn't hear a peep.

The next day,
I heard the fight.

It shook the walls,
I walked in, to see what they would say.

I knew he would lie to me anyway.

I still can't tell,
Not even to this day.

Why this fight happened today.
