Chloe

Chloe woke up on that frightful day
The sky was dark and it started to rain
She knew what was going on
She knew her mother had done wrong
For she saw the poison unmixed in her food
Was it real or were her eyes confused?

She looked out her window
Twas all muddy and wet
But she knew she must leave
Or soon would come death
She struggled out of bed
Then collapsed on the floor
She was to weak to walk anymore

She saw the bread knife on the timber floor
Her mother had dropped, not noticing its fall
She reached out her hand
But it was too far away
All she could do was lie there and weep...
