The Day My Mother Left

These scars and bruises
They are a reminder
Now I watch as I hurt myself

The pain he's inflicted upon me
Makes me want to die
It all extremely harms my mental health

I watch the blood flow
And I think about my mother
I think about her death

Tears flow from my dry eyes
I cry as I think of the fire
The day my mother left

I sit alone in the corner
Not knowing what to do
I couldn't tell anyone what was going on

I stare at my abusive father
More tears flow from my eyes
My daddy was really gone

I sit against my mother's grave
I tell her everything
Knowing she can't actually save me

"Mom he hurts me
Why did you have to leave?"
I wondered how no one could see

The flames come all around me
Wipe my crying eyes
All I think is death...

I need to be with her
I keep seeing what happened
The day my mother left.
