Love Poem: Arguments

Arguments

I can not stand this 
Screaming outside my door
The screaming and yelling 
I try to ignore.
It keeps getting louder
As more screams appear
One right after another
It seems so hard to bear.
It makes me want to cry 
But I try to stay strong
But they need to stop
Their fights last way to long.
It never seems to help
To try and cover my ears
The screaming keeps getting closer
I can hear them very clear.
Cursing and swearing 
Is every other word
They need to stop and realize
Who this really hurts.
Whose ears are being covered 
Whose eyes are being filled
Whose heart is being torn in half
It feels like being killed.
We were one happy family
Until the money tore us apart
The saddest of the moments
Is once again my brother departs.
Leaving us four again
The way it use to be
Leaving more empty spaces 
Deep inside of me.
