A mothers love (revisited)

My hand clutches a dripping red knife,

in front of me

lays my baby boy

dead as all hell.

On the table lies a sturdy rope.

I...I had my reasons

I think to myself,

a pool of tears mixes with the blood running out of my only offspring.

More tears leaking off my face as if it were Niagara Falls

He was bullied a lot..

Being highly autistic,

bullies had an easy target, y'know?

He came home sobbing daily,

telling me the principal never did ****

Well, I called that sonovabitch,

and with no action after two weeks

I decided to take it upon myself.

Sobbing heavily,

I called my son into the kitchen

told him I needed help setting the table.

Its just us here since his dad passed away you know.

That's when it happened.

He turned around,

I forced myself to push in the knife

my eyes bloodshot and welled up with tears

as I hear his last screams

and then he falls silent, collapsing down to the floor,

my breath short gasps of air and I choke on my tears as I struggle to comprehend my actions.

I grab the rope,

tying it in a noose on a steel beam on the ceiling as I stand on a chair

and take one last look at my deed.

I'll see you soon, I love you

stepping off the chair, everything cuts to black.

I love you
