Dedicated.. To a close friend.
Maybe
As I walked through this door
I heard not one sound in the house
I thought maybe I’d get away tonight
Without worrying where to hide
But I was wrong...
As I walk down this hallway
As glad as I could be
As I opened the kitchen door
You loudly popped out at me
Yells went around, hits got thrown
One of us was standing
And one of us was down
I don’t say anything
I just lay here crying
To weak to even speak
Waiting for daddy to come home
But he’s not.
So while you’re hitting me
I’m thinking...
Maybe it’s to teach me a lesson
Maybe to show me the pain you feel
Or maybe because you’re too heartless to realize
So as I hold my breath
Wishing to fade away
I know you did this for a reason
That maybe I’ll understand someday
But until then mommy
As you fight me
To only see me not fighting back
I hope you learn
that abusiveness..
Can only make you lose everything
That ever tried to love you
So maybe mommy
As you’re standing
Over my casket
You're thinking
Maybe I shouldn’t have..
But I’ll never know
What you think mommy.
So coming from your little girl
I forgive.
