Just A Dream
(poems Home from a normal day
the unexpected still at wait
looking out at every way
feeling the air of hate.
A empty house of torter
holding secrets of unending pain
the icy chill of winter
just adds to the lasting vain.
the noise of my fathers yell
the anger in his eyes
a secret i will now tell
of our final goodbyes
From the fear i decide to run
into the hope of darkness
his hands tight around a gun
in my room of hopelessness
under the bed i try to hide
and i hear the door close
i see the gun by his side
against his torn apart clothes
looking around our eyes meet
then the anger returns
his brother just behind his feet
as the fury burns
the threat of the barrel
pointing toward my head
praying to an angel
that we both end up dead.
the final decision had to come
of who will pull the trigger
the feeling of being done
the shots go off, go figue
the pain seen eye to eye
the thought of what id done
knowing now is goodbye
wishing it hadnt come
guilt comes rushing in
and i start to cry
and the shots begin again
so i will slowly die
as the darkness appears
i think of my mom
i say 'i love you' with tears
but now its said and done.
