In the dead of the night I'm awaken by a loud noise that made me jump and
Pull the covers over my head
What could be going on but, I'm to scared to get out of my bed
It sounds like we're being robbed
Now I wonder if my mom and dad are okay
So I turn to see that my sister was still sleep, she hasn't even moved, doesn't hear a thing
Now I blink my eyes twice maybe it's just a dream but
There goes the noise again and then I hear a scream
Now I'm shaking, I don't know what to do
So in a nerviest voice I call out mom, dad is that you?
No one answers I get no reply
So I get even more scared and I start to cry
I wipe my noise on the sleeve of my shirt
My hands start shaking because of my nerves
There's the noise again followed by more screams
Are they killing my parents, will they kill my sister and me
Now sets in curiosity
I reach for the doorknob as I slowly turn the door opens and
Out I peek but, still I can't see anything
The noise gets louder and louder and
I hear things hitting the walls, glass smashing on the floor now
What could they be ransacking my house for?
Someone's screaming and pleading for their life or some help
I continue to walk down the hall cause
I just have to see for myself what's going on?
I'm half way down the hall and
I'm so scared cause the scream I heard this time I'm sure it was my mother
I could hear her choking and gasping for air so
I started to hurry, just as I got to the end of the hall
There was a beating on the front door
Open up! It's the police
So I felt we were saved as I turned around the corner
I was surprised to see my father was the robber and my mother he had beat
As the police broke down the door, my father was surprise to see me looking in his eyes
I had lost respect for the man I held up high
Tears falling I asked daddy why?
As they slapped the hand cuffs on my father I pleaded for them not to take him but
Then I saw my mothers face, I wanted to kill him
I wanted him to die cause
This is the night I lost my innocents, my father took my mothers life
A new look about the world that I could never go back to being
Daddies Little Girl!

Poetry: Death of a loved one
by Judi B
Heaven Has My Hero Now
Heaven has my hero now,
My life with you is gone.
It's changed in oh, so many ways
But yet continues
"Never"
(In Loving Memory
For my Tattooed Queen)
Taken away before your time,
The debt paid before the crime,
Left but never
The Long Wait
The leaves fell down
Upon the autumn grass;
Frailty in every shade of red...
I sat by the window for a closer
Not a day goes by that I don't think of you
Neither sunrise nor sunset that I don't hear your voice
Or miss your laugh
And
Lights shine off in the distance
Nothing but blackness appears
There is resistance
Death whispers in my ear
He talks of a life
