The Little Ears

They Hear Everything

When everything is falling apart,

Those gone to war against their love,

Forget about little ears,

Harsh, cruel, criticism,

Spat between clenched teeth,

Little ears hear,

Every word,

Swords down,

Please?

A/N: I thought it was about time I got back involved with the Vocal challenges!

I wrote this as an alternate perspective to the breakup prompt. Instead of writing from the perspective of the people breaking up, I wrote from the perspective of a child, or perhaps a pet. I was interested in the concept of 'little ears' that hear so much sadness and anger from adults when a breakup is nigh. And how their dearest wish, is to just get along again <3

I hope you 'enjoyed' this perspective, and remember the little ears who are listening!
