Scary Moments
scarry moments
In the dead of the night he came to my room
I was trying to sleep after finishing my reading
Touched me everywhere with the lust loom
Didn’t you hear? Mom, you in next room sleeping.
Day after day this went on and happiness faded
How couldn’t you know of things what dad did?
He tucking beers, I crying silent tears unaided
Mom, I’m with a child of my own dad indeed.
Hearing her mama went flabbergasted a-reel
Recalling her visit to a doctor with her husband
Whispering to advise her to take sleeping pill
Next day their dead bodies found near river band.
Hey, poets you talk a great deal of poetic justice
Prove me otherwise of my story of the sacrifice.
