White Smoke

I remember that day so clear the white smoke lofting through the air fumes from your past caught up to you at last for all your sins you couldn't out run slower than a gun no mess to clean up for the mess was contained in your cold black heart you placed your disappointments on all those around you you walked in a shade of red your favorite hue your verbal assualts locked an entire family in fear and left a nine year old between a scream and a tear all your faults where placed on my shoulders all your dreams you were to lazy to fufill became my nightmares of all the things you did you did them all wrong but one thing you finally did right you cleansed yourself to purity surrounded by the white smoke you chose to induce your own death and with that said I can finally rest in piece now that your gone I remember you how I want as a loving wife and mother than to live with the reality that you failed me and our child your days of tyranny are over your days of wild are but nipped in bud resonating with a long thud as you finally met your fate.
