Once i saw a little guy
He had bags beneath his eyes
And the little girl with him
Look like she was gunna cry
And it made me wonder what was wrong
So i sat there and finish up my lunch
And i sat there and i wached
There was a man with a beard
And a stern look on his face
His words were harsh
But unheard
I could feel the darkness seeping around them
His tone was damp
As he sat at that table
I wached him
He was livid
And his kids were afrid of him
He turned to the little girl
He got so close to her face
Grabbed her sholders
And growled something inaudiboe at her
That was strike one
He told motiond her tward the bathroom
Such a small gem
Walking herself away
And then he turned to the little boy
He moved next time him
Grabbed his face
He was growled at too
But with more force
Anger running deep through the air
And that beast of a man moved back to the other side
I almost wished that little girl would have been abducted
So at least she could ascape from this
But she returned with obedience
A fear in her eyes
She clambored into the seat beside the man
He carelessly tosed a napkin into her food and laughed...
She sunk into her place
Then he snapped his eyes to that little angel of a boy
Grumbles something
And i saw the tears well up
Strike two
That little boy held it together
And he looked around the room
He looked at me
At my eyes
And i knew what that man was doing
That little angel looked into me
And all i could see was
"help me
please
im scared
and im alone
and i need a hand
please
take me away from this place
from my fears
so i can cry
i want to be a kid
not a slave
i dont want to be afraid anymore..."
He looked away
And the worst thing is
I couldnt do a thing to help that little sweetie
I walked out of the resturant
Holding my tears
Because i knew
That little boy had to go home
And he had to face what ever kind of deamon that man was...
I can only wish to be that brave...
