Leftover Family
By Kiah
I remember December Leftover family members Cold still in the April sun Stopped with the son I remember moonlight waking dreams Laying in anxious wait for screams No one was awake, no heard me shake No one ever questioned the break No one ever asked why I wouldn’t I never told them what I shouldn’t I have not forgot what it is to lie About how my father died Tell me what you think your son will say About why his father went away 13 years is a long time for the truth Time cannot heal the secrets we keep Pristine ears can even hear in their sleep Daddy killed himself and Mommy lied All alone is this little boy that cried He could have willed himself She could have tried They alone convicted me of their crimes The sins of the father became mine Written January 19th, 2002 © on Jan 18 2002 05:52 PM PST 18 • 0 • 1
