"His Gifts"


"His Gifts" By:Lynisha Arceus H-Is for how many times he told her he loved her I-Is for all the "I WILL NEVER PUT MY HANDS ON YOU AGAIN "he told her V-Is for the different visit from different females telling tall tales of him S-Is for how silly she was and not thinking twice and letting him hit that same night T-Is for how many times she told her family those lies to protect his life D-Is for all the doctor's visit she attend alone while he stayed home Positive she is A child she is She lost her family because of him He went out and Got another one of them just like her He lEft her but gave her something to remember him by Every docTor visit bill she must pay Every 3 pills the doctor say she must take The rings around her neck That no pearls can hide FEars of falling in love with another guy HopelesS running through her mind Tears she cries every night Scared to seE her reflection so every mirror she walks by with close eyes She feels trappeD inside So she search for the delete button But couldn't find it This is the gift he gave her This is no ordinary Christmas gift That's is on everyone's wish list This is a gift she refuses to re-gift So she called up the Grinch and told him "You're the Grinch who stole my innocents" (POW! Sounds coming from a gun) Then it was silence on the phone He knew something went wrong He called out her name But no response She was only 18 Diagnose with HIV and caught two STDs Those were his careless gifts that she wished she never received.
