A Sad Tale

Rating: 2.9


My mother was crying in a leap on the floor
My father had a knife as he stood by the door
As I walk slowly from upstairs
Its as if they don't even care
My mother watched father very closely as it seems
Then I close my eyes as my mother screams
I open them after it went quiet, with my father staring
I looked to mom then back at him glaring
My mom was dead! DEAD! ACTUALLY DEAD!
I looked beyond my father to see a bed
As I looked back at my dad my face went red
On the bed layed a girl I'd never seen before
'You're next, ' he said as he kicked the girl out the door
I started running as fast as I could
But I tripped and fell and I should
Have remembered to get back up but I didn't
My father came to me and I couldn't
Breathe and he tied up my hands and legs
I scream and thrash as I try to beg
My way out of my fathers touch
He's grossing me out a bit too much
He laid me down on a bed that was meant to nap
I tried to fight back but in the end he would just slap
Me until I stopped moving
My legs stopped doing
What my mind told them to
When he said, 'I love you'
I never knew he meant like this
My breathing stops, my heart accelerates as you kiss
All the way down to my neck
The whole time I'm thinking 'What the heck? '
I'm scared, fragile, little and your own daughter!
But that just brought you laughter
When finally I can't take anymore
I hear a loud bang as the door
Flies open and my father is off me
I cry a silent plea
Thank God someone is watching over me!

First line? Leap on the floor? Or heap on the floor? Leaping is jumping, and heap is a pile or a mass. I am not trying to edit your work, but if it is not what you meant, then I hope you don't mind me pointing it out? :) Deborah Cromer
