All Four Points

This was written after an incident with restraining someone at work. It's more of a song than a poem, but ce la vie. It was also written whilst watching the BBC 25th anniversary of Les Miserables.

She falls apart while he stares
The kid is crying he doesn't seem to care
It's for the best so he says
He's standing just as still as a stone
She' holding back all her tears
Yelling though she can't get him to hear.

Just let the child play
He doesn't understand what you have to say
Just let him run away
What he's been through is no excuse for today

She falls apart no one sees
They're busy with what the doctor says he needs
The child screams down the hall
They live by placing feeling behind a wall
She falls apart all alone
She's hearing and she's utterly wasted

Just let the child play
He doesn't understand what you have to say
Just let him run away
What he's been through is no excuse for today
