In a cradle
I appeared
A young child
With hopes and dreams
My wish was
To become a doctor
Just like my mommy
She was great
When I was six
I fell from my bike
I scrapped my knee
And I cried
Where was mommy?
I didn't know
I was sad
And cried all night
Daddy held me close
But I pushed him away
I wanted to be
All alone
He wouldn't let me
Be all alone
He had other plans
That no one wants to know
I sat there later
Beneath my cover
A quilt my mommy
Made for me
When I was born
I never stopped crying
Because I hurt all over
I wanted mommy
But she wasn't there
She never did come
When daddy came again
Turned on the lights
And put a smile
On his face
I remember that smile
It was slightly…scary
He always smiled like that
When I was near
It was almost
Almost
Cruel
I didn't know
What it meant
In real life
But I never
Got to
Say a single
Word about it
Daddy said it would
Be alright
To keep quiet
And that would be it
Mommy never left
She was always there
Daddy just hid her
Because he was scared
Someone might find her
Because
How would it be possible
To not find a
Hanging body in a closet?
