I don't understand.
Why are you screaming?
I don't understand.
When did these broken bottles get here?
I don't understand.
Why are you hurting me?
I don't understand.
Bruises ring your eyes.
I don't understand.
When did my little boy turn
into such a horrid man?
I don't understand.
Why did you put the gun
to your head?
I don't understand.
Why you left me, in the
Form of a traveling bullet.
I don't understand.
Why you had to leave your
Mommy?
I don't understand.
(Not my best)

I watch you,
A life that couldn’t be more beautiful.
My hand on yours;
You’ll never leave, I’m sure.
When you’re not looking,
I stare at your beauty;
Something I’ve sealed in a jar,
I can pick the days I want,
And lift it from a shelf.
I’ll stare at it, and admire you.


I could go a day without
your beauty,
I loved you for more
than that. But, my love
won’t ever bring you back.
I just need
you with me, I need
your voice in my ears.
The day you said goodbye, I threw the jar
Away, Shattered like my world.
Your beauty leaked onto the carpet,
And before I could scrub it away,
It soaked and stayed.
Uhh, Here.

— The End —
