Plagued by Memories

This, is where it began A scream Blood curdling An amalgamation of acid and iron Coagulates my blood Mother Instinct seizes Heart racing Legs race faster Thoughts race out of hand A gun to her head? No time for weapons Fists will do Around the corner My eyes catch glimpse five golden corners two solemn eyes Mother One word resounds From shrieking lips No Over and over Over And Over That word His badge Her sobs His gaze Say one shrilling word Her lover My father My father Gone
