Shannon Goodson Poet Ballade

Kellie and Mike

I read a sad story today there seems to be more and more of them

I wasn’t sure how to take this one though all because I knew him

Would they just become another statistic? Would anyone even cry?

These are questions I’m not to sure of, he wasn’t a very nice guy

The paper says he had to have been drinking to have done a thing like this

I knew him for such a long time, he called me his little sis

So I knew what he was capable of he didn’t need to drink

Drugs were his poison and on them he didn’t think

He walked into a daycare where he knew his ex would be

Told her if you know what’s best then you will come with me

Thinking things would be ok she left her place of work

All because she didn’t want them to see him act like a jerk

In the car they were riding for such a very long ways

So far out in the country they didn’t find their bodies for days

He had always told her if you ever leave me you will pay

Now we know he meant it as we read the paper today

Beside them was a picture of their little boy Mark

Was this the last thing she saw before her world went dark?

Did she beg him for her life and show him the picture of their son?

Telling him that she would come back hoping the nightmare would be done

These and other questions will never get answered for us now

We wonder could we have stopped him but none of us know how

Kellie lost her life yesterday and Mike took his life as well

All for trying to get away from a man that caused her hell

I can not seem to cry for Mike but for Kellie I have cried and cried

I read a sad story today in this one my best friend died.
