Mother’s View

The mother watches a situation in the family that turns bloody.

I see my daughter come home late
the argument starts
and all hell brakes lose
my husband and daughter are fighting
my son wont shut up
about what daddy has behind his back
I don’t listen foolish of me
how was I soo blind

Then the situation turns bloody
my husband reveals
what’s behind his back
the blade glistens in the light
my son has a sorry expression
oh god how was I so stupid

I run to my husband
but its to late
my daughter was to fast for him
as brother and mother jump on daddy
she stabs him in the forehead

The funeral comes
I didn’t let the children go
I didn’t want to go
not like they did anyways
