Taken From Us...
The day so vivid,
That night of pain.
I wore the time like a yellow cotton dress.
My rememberance of you,
A hunter, a scavenger.
I was too young to be afraid,
Maybe it was just another day in my mind.
The yelling, the spitting.
Broken shards of glass impale themselves into the sheetrock.
Your shotgun unveiled,
at that moment everything changed.
With a fatal shot,
My smile was no longer.
I was aware of what happened,
But didn't understand the effects it would have on me later in life.
A mixed cocktail:
One part Nestle's Quik Chocolate Milk
One part three year old tears.
Walking down the aisle empty handed,
Are you proud of me?
Of who I've become?
It's all since past,
And all the memories of you have slowly faded away.
