I Keep This From My Children

I keep this from my children

Though my eyes are red

Lips are split

I keep this from my children

Laughter stains

Screams echo

Broken walls are covered in plaster

Fear resides

Worn down over the years

I keep this from my children

Blood-encrusted nails

Stay inside the lines

Your mother's fine

He is a broken man

With foolish ways

I am his resilient wife

A decaying swan
