An million times I’ve replayed it this moment in my head
Picked apart trying to see when it began The scream was piercing, it woke me from my sleep But it seemed easy At the time, One of laughter and fun But I guess that was the last string of innocent remaining Jolted by the shock of what was about to see next The one who was there when my father left The one who was there through the bullies, just you and me against the word. Forever and always your little girl You where the protector from all my childish fears But now here you are convulsing on the stairs and I don’t know what to do. Slow motion now, time comes to a stop I’m frozen for what seems like eternity in that one spot Grow up now Call the ambulance Grow up now Save your sister from this terror Grow up now It’s not your time to breakdown Call everyone Tell them your world’s fallen apart The guest in my house is now just another chore Cook dinner Take them through a city I don’t even know Then fly them home white walls and clean sheets is the only thing I come to know, She forgets who I am The memories forgotten, the only thing keeping our existence 40years of life was supposed to be a celebration Turned out just a sad balloon with an auntie crying on my shoulder Grow up now Everything I knew is gone Your eyes are lost All the things we’ve seen, all the world’s we’ve explored Her light was no longer lit Her eyes are nothing, just an empty shell Time never seemed to catch up The hell in my heart never never seem to stop Because when you came home, your eyes never did The pain would not end Our relationship we could not mend The anger takes hold and I can’t seem to let the past go It’s not your fault, it’s out of your control But it’s out of mine to My haunted future Because I’m sitting here dwelling on this past How long can this hell last
my bestfriend wrote a poem to go with this called Bailey's Poem by Devon Duggan-Groleau
