Killing your Child

by Jump from Life   Apr 25, 2014


Waking up from an endless dream
and all I wish to do is scream.
This is not what life is supposed to be
and I just wish that I could be free.

Free from your hurtful grasp
as your hands reach out to clasp
the skin around my tiny throat
so that I may finally float.

Float off into the clouds above
with gentle hands fitting me like a glove,
If only you could have seen
when my face started to turn green.

It turned green from the acid
and everything turned placid.
I still can't believe you killed your child,
even you couldn't have been so wild.

You sat there and watched her bleed
as you slowly began to decreed
that her soul was unworthy and a liar
and that just made her soul go higher.

Till it began to fall
and roll down a hill like a ball
of eternal flame and damnation
that ended in her life's termination.

If only people would have noticed
everything that had gone unnoticed
because now the girl is dead
and her story will never be again read.

    Its remarkably sad...truely heart felt. My heart was literally pounding as I read, with my own child on the way I can't imagine the pain. A painful truth that no one accepts.
