'You father only hits you, because he <br />loves you.' <br /> <br />With eyes swollen nearly closed, <br />I look at my sainted mother <br />and thought; <br /> <br />'Let him love you, not me! <br />I don't need a Mike Tyson like father! <br />Next thing ya know, this wacko, is gonna <br />bite my ear off!
