Array ( [sid] => 168101 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Once Upon Never Again [time] => 2011-10-25 19:31:47 [hometext] => [bodytext] => The sun melted into the glamorous sky
The moon stood there, hidden by sweet lullabies.

But mommy was crying, her day had been hard
The tears in her eyes twinkled just like the stars.

Her face wasn't happy like it should have been
And though she was saddened, she forcefully grinned.

I wanted to see Mommy smile through it all...
I painted a picture on her bedroom walls.

I told her to look, just to come in and see
But Mommy was angry... she wasn't happy.

She threw me down hard on the cold wooden floor
Then picked me up, slamming my head on the door.

She yelled and she screamed, then she hit me once more
She slapped me till I couldn't see anymore.

My heart then stopped beating, my laugh went unheard
Then Mommy got up without saying a word.

She looked at the walls splattered with my young blood
Then fell to the ground in her tears with a thud.

She looked at my face, then she looked all around
Then wrote on the walls with the first thing she found.

Then, after she finished, she wanted self harm....
She sat on the ground, putting me in her arms.

She reached for the knife she had placed on her bed
Then stabbed her own body... she cried as she bled.

The words on the wall echoed throughout the room...
"I love you so much, Mommy... get better soon!"

Once Upon Never Again

The sun melted into the glamorous sky
The moon stood there, hidden by sweet lullabies.

So sad but well written. I pray that this is good writing and not real. If it's real then you need to find a way to get out of this situation.
huggs, prayer, blessings,
emy

I'm in awe of the, not tender, but gentle grip your words have on the mind of the reader. Powerful, effective, 'n' so sadly magnificent. Sad in poem, not in magnificent. Downright masterful work.
