Angels Have Mercy

little child
not of five
the pain
his little "games"

you plead
you cry
he just denies

teenage child
not yet fifteen
the pain
his "big girl games"

you plead
you cry
he just denies

teenage child
not yet fifteen
no more pain
no more of his "big girl games"

you got out
he can't deny.

because now;
the angels have mercy.
