That night

by Trish   Apr 21, 2006


Sitting along in a dark room
the air reeking of betrayal
trust broken
never to be reformed

it smelled like alcohol
I wanted to get out
but my legs felt like rubber
they shake and i can\'tstand
he smiles at me
and takes another drink of his beer
and he walks toward me

i felt dreadful pain and hurt
i was 12
and he 34
i was not strong enough
to help my self
he took my innocence
violently and cruelly
tears streamed down my face

that night went by
into the broken past
but my wounds still felt new
his smiles when i saw him
sent chills through my spine
and dread to my heart

more time came and went
and i didn't't say anything
the law came and took him
for possession
and a DUI

but i had already noticed a change
my stomach puffed out a bit
and i was late
i was scared
and wasn't entirely sure what this meant

a friend bought the test
and the result tore my heart in two
nine months passed
and i gave birth to his child

i was in eighth grade
and the looks people gave me
were rude and cruel
every night i cried
but i continued through school
and the memory slowly slipped
deeper and deeper into space

my baby grew up strong
so did I
my crying stopped
i moved on

    In all honesty - I liked this, you arent into the whole rhyming thing, but you have a unique structure... very nice.
