The Closet

I wish I could forget
Her shivering with fear
Sobbing on my blanket

I wish I could forget
Him asking me so nicely to
Go to the kitchen and get
Daddy a big knife
"You sick twisted fuck"

I wish I could forget
My king standing there
With knife in hand
Grabing her with the other

I wish I could forget
Me all but the age of 4
Screaming and stomping
Daddy no, no, no
Daddy no, don't hit mommy
As I get knocked across the room

I guess I should be glad
That I can't forget
Because I will never be an alcoholic
I will never be a drug abuser
I will never be with a bum not
Taking care of his family

I guess I should be glad
That I can't forget
Because I know that I will
Never be in that closet

Thanks Daddy

Now you have the life you have earned and deserve......alone

Ohh, powerful write. Yes, I can definitely relate . . . and although I understand wishing to forget, like you I am glad there is also the option to learn and take from even the worst of experiences. And you are right; he does deserve to be alone and worse

Very well done. From pain and suffering can come one of the strongest drives of all... the drive to never, ever be that type of person. ::hugs::
