The Day Mommy Died

"Mommy?" I am filled with fear she's not answering me she's not running to my side then I see her I don't know what's wrong but I do know she won't be there anymore laying in a puddle of what looks like kool aid that was spilled on the floor she's not moving she's not getting up "Daddy?" he's gone he's probably run away again I needed her, and him they were all I had they were my parents and despite their problems I loved them the lady that took me away isn't soft at all she tells me like an adult "you're mother's been killed" I cry, I know what she means I know it very well mommy's gone away forever now the lady isn't holding me or wiping my tears away she's ignoring me we get to the new house she hands me away to a man I fight him I hate him he hands me away to a woman she holds me I cry, again she's whispering "It's gonna be okay" I trust her I remember my mother's smell as she rocks me to sleep her lullabyes and gentle ways I remember her
