My love,
Sometimes I wish…
I wish, I had known…
Why?
Why the doors of your heart…
were shut tight,
were locked, bolted, nailed– forever shut to the world?
Forever shut
be careful what you wish for
be careful
Sometimes our wish comes to us at night
Our wish taps us on the shoulder
It’s a message from God
The answer to our questions
The questions of..
Why?
My eyes are shut and sleep surrounds me,
in subconsciousness,
it surrounds me….
“STOP HITTING HER!” “STOP, DADDY STOP!!!” “PLEASE DADDY, STOP HITTING HER!!!””PLEEEEAAAASSSSEEE!!!”
My heart stops
My heart S L O W S to nothingness…
“MAMA!!!!!!, MAMA!!!, MAMA!!!!!”
It’s a little boy
with dirty blond hair
with teary ocean blue eyes…
beating the air with his fists
beating the air.
Tears…
Fill my eyes
I see a him
Seeking to protect his mama
Seeking to protect himself…
from the one he thought would protect him
from the one he loved deeply
“SSSSHUT UP BOY!!!! YOU GET ON MY F—- NERVESSSSS….
GET OOOOUUUTT OF MYYY D— WAYYYY”
Slurred from his mouth
*smack*
*pow*
*boom*
He falls to the ground in pain
Tears stream down his face
Silence fills the air…
Scared, confused and lost
The little boy whispers…
“I hate you…
…I hate myself.“
Now I know
Now I know why you can’t accept my love
And I still love you….
I STILL LOVE YOU
