Mom I Once Knew

 

I once had a mom

who was sweet as can be

I laughed so hard

when she tickled me

She kissed me goodnight

and awoke me in the morning

Her sweet voice that chimed

most of the time

The rest of the time

mom and dad always screamed

Mom tells me to hide

when they get this way

a week had passed and

it didnt get any better

One day at school

I got a funny feeling

That something was wrong

I raced afterschool

To the place I call home

The doors where locked

but the windows were not

I crawled through the window

to an unwelcome feeling

I walk room to room

thay all were familiar

The dining room kitchen

to the living room and my room

Then last was my parents room

the sound of their screaming

filled my ears with dispair

I ran to my room

and hid so well

The screaming now halted

no more noise seemed to come

 I walked out slowly

to a silence from above

I ran to my parents room

to find red seeping out

I open the door

to find mom covered in red

I look around to find

my dad oozing red

to my disbeleif

the red was blood

the blood of the man

I loved and feared

I ran so fast

I couldnt breath

I ran to my neighbors

and knocked on their door

they asked me what happened

I told them the truth

Mommy killed daddy

and the truth was let out

Mom came running to me

saying she was sorry

but the words are confusing

the meanings not the same

the cops came now

I tried to run

but fear over came me

they sat me down

and asked me questions

about things i didnt know

my mom went away

for a very long time

my life was changed

from that one ugly day

caused by the mom I once knew
