Where were you?

Where were you?
when the children cried
and the dog cowered
in the shadow of your anger.
Where were you?
as the floorboards rotted
under the lumpy mattress
of your past.
Where were you?
when the broken window
gazed back at me
for a decade of shattered silence.
Where were you?
I looked
but I failed to see.
when the children cried
and the dog cowered
in the shadow of your anger.
Where were you?
as the floorboards rotted
under the lumpy mattress
of your past.
Where were you?
when the broken window
gazed back at me
for a decade of shattered silence.
Where were you?
I looked
but I failed to see.
