As the Beast From Hell Runs Back To Her Alcohol
"AS THE BEAST FROM HELL RUNS BACK TO HER ALCOHOL."
I look at her and know:
If she had been
loved by her mother
during those nights
without the sun,
if she had been
loved by her father
during those days
without the moon,
she would have lived
with a heart full of
love to give.
she questions God
and wonders why
her daughter searches
through gnats
of the night for
doves of symphony.
she destroys her
daughter like her
mother destroyed her.
when I asked the beast
from hell if she felt
remorse for her
iniquitous version
of love toward her
daughter,
she replied:
"if the bi??h is going
to do it to me, I'm
going to do it right
back to her."
the beast once told
me that her mother
would hit her in the
face leaving bruises
and marks.
I once asked the
beast
from hell if she
thought
she was an exact
copy
of her mother.
she said, "I'm
nothing like my
mother!"
I wonder if her
daughter with marks
and bruises on her
body and face,
would agree on this
Easter weekend.
