The Night My Family Died

It started as a brisk morning
After an awfully dreary night
It started as a gruesome day
Beginning with first light
The night was plagued with screaming
As blood and terror spread
It started as a normal fight
And now my family is dead
I didn’t mean to do it
I say staring at fresh ground
I scream my intact anguish
But no one is around
My hands carry blood of innocent
And my heart holds this defect
I did something so brutally awful
Something I do regret
See daddy came home drunk last night
And boy was he in a terrible mood
Pushing mommy all around
And acting very rude
Mommy begged for forgiveness
And brother tried to lure daddy away
Daddy smacked him around a bit
But went back to mom right away
I sat and watched this common scene
But this time it made me mad
I was sick of doing nothing
And sick of being sad
So I took the fire poker
And wacked daddy on the head
I must have gotten carried away
Cause in minutes he was dead
Mommy and brother watched in fright
They look at me as if I was a stranger
Don’t they see what I did for them?
I got them out of danger
But they both looked at me very scared
And mom reached for the phone
She wanted to call 911
And lock me up all alone
What I did was out of love
But I couldn’t let her call
So I gave her a quick shove
Brother must of thought me mad
Because he reached for a weapon of his own
I never meant to hurt him
But he let out a soft groan
I struck him once or twice
I only meant to disable
But he fell back and I heard a crack
And it was his head against the table
Now Mommy was trying to run away
And I only wanted a hug
I chase her down for a second
And tripped upon the rug
I skinned my knee and it hurt like hell
And sent a shiver down my spine
It was her unloving fault
And none of it was mine
I can’t believe she abandoned me now
It made my blood run cold
The anger rose incredibly
To a point I could no longer hold
I caught her and pull her back
But that perfect blonde hair
I can’t believe she did that
I can’t believe she’d dare
I grabbed the vase to my left
And wacked it across that fraud face
And smashed til it ran with red
And no longer was a vase
She looked up at me and pleaded
To late to be sorry now
I took the poker and stuck clear through her heart
I killed her and that’s how
Now I had a chance to breathe
And I got up to look around
My mind had gone clear again
And I was mortified by what I found
My family lay slaughtered
By the stranger inside of me
I couldn’t hold the pent up rage no more
And this is what came to be
I let out a few soft tears
And mourned for my family left slain
I can’t believe I did this
I wallow in the pain
I’m sorry dear family
I really never meant to hurt you
But now you’re all left dead
And there’s only on things left to do
I go to daddy’s closet
And take out daddy’s gun
He is where it started
And by his gun it shall be done
I put the gun up to my head
And say a prayer to above
I just have one last thing to say
“I did it out of love”
