Lonly Life

What more can you do? Where would you go? How wold you live Without no one near? i once lived in a peaceful home the one where love is always fair no one fights no one screams but that all changed when daddy screamed 'i hate you' mommy cried sissy cry Johnny whimpered i survived daddy left two days from then mommy cry so much more sitting home waiting for his return and then a thought can to mind 'where would he go? what would he do? how would he live without mommy so near? two weeks have passed and daddy's back but nothing now is like back then daddy yells and mommy cries sissy cries and Johnny dies and at his funeral my mommy weeps she came to see dear Johnny sleep 'never again to see your face never again to hold you close now i know how bad you felt when daddy came and beat you dead' mommy cry herself to bed that night sissy wept in the quiet night daddy sits and wonders why why he killed poor Johnny that night a year has passed and nothing changed mommy still with teary eyes walks around sis's bed at night 'if you die i will not live without you near i wont forgive' mommy cried sissy cried Johnny died daddy byed two weeks after daddy left he comes back at take a rest mommy weeps so much more sissy with startled eyes cries now cause mommy yelled that night my mommy yelled i wept for the first night yet daddy ran away and never did i even pray for all i knew daddy lied told us once he'd be forever now i know that daddy's mean because that night mommy died sis and i we packed our things sneaking out to not be seen the once good daddy drunk again you never know if you fight for life and as we walk around the block we hear his voice calling out 'COME BACK. YOU CAN ONT HIDE I'M YOUR DADDY FOR ALL TIMES COME ON BACK YOU'LL DIE OUT THERE COME OR ELSE I'LL KILL YOU THERE' and with great fear we start to run never knowing what may come and now today sis and i we live together and never lie but at some times we walked in fear for we still know daddy's near it doesn't matter anymore as long and i have my sister near -Anna P Chebukina
