8:00 pm My parents tucked me in at night my dad smiled at me, kissing me goodnight my mom sat at the edge of my bed reading me a bedtime story departing as I drifted off into a dreaming faze thats what they would always do 9:00 pm My parents tucked me in at night my dad hugged me turned and left to bed my mom sat at the edge of my bed telling me to get better grades because I was failing math 10:00 pm My parents tucked me in at night my dad went to bed before me patting my shoulder as he passed shutting that wooden door behind him my mom cracking the door open "night" I smiled as I worked through my homework 11:00 pm My parents tucked me in at night my mom sitting behind the bright computer screen telling me to go to bed because she was to busy my dad huddled under the covers snoring softly behind that white wooden door I sat alone in my cold room 12:00 am I tucked myself into bed tears streaming from my hallow eyes sorrowing tremors shaking my fragile bones knees drawn to my chest, attempt to hold myself together a trail of dark scarlett snaking down my arm to my finger tips my head a hazy storm, I lean back unconcious, asleep      My parents never tucked me in
