Death Came To Me
My hate was as red
as fire for the cruel woman
I called mother
I was to be her slave.
She, my master.
I was to play no games.
I was no longer allowed to laugh.
My hatred grew hotter and hotter
Until I decided I had to either
Kill her or myself.
I had an urge, a dream
A little bit of a fantasy
I took the knife in my hand
And charged it towards my chest.
I laid on the tiled floor
And thought about the joy
I was suppose to be feeling now.
My breath became weaker
Each slower than the last
My eyes began to close
I began to see black.
My family rushed in
With remorseful screams
As they found me in my
Sea of blood and lost dreams.
My mother held my cold hand
And wept bitterly
She could not understand
Why I had done such a thing
I lifted my head and barely said
"I love you mom. what have I done"?
Its been four years since that night
And I can still hear the screams.
I had hoped for fun.
I had hoped for laughs
but I found a sea of tears.
Death came to me.
