Poetry: Dark moments

by Karissa Mcclellan

Created on: September 08, 2010   Last Updated: September 09, 2010

A stranger walks,

Into her room,

She's laying on the bed,

Sleeping soundly,

CLICK CLICK

She wakes up startled,

Looking around the room,

She sees him.


"make a noise and you die" he says,

She looks at him terrified,

Tears running down her face,

He makes her take off her clothes,

And her body he begins to violate,

His hand on her mouth,

Her tears continue to spill out.


When his seed is spilled,

When his deed is done,

He slaps her across the cheek,

A line of blood decorates,

The side of her face.


He leaves the room,

And kills her children,

They couldn't keep quiet,

Started screaming when,

They saw the stranger,

He comes back to her room,

Points the gun at her head.


She looks at him,

Says something that,

Took him by surprise,

He accidently pulled the trigger,

And killed her,

He runs out of the house,

Nearly hitting her husband,

Coming home from work.


Her husband walks through,

His front door only to see,

Blood all over the floor,

He races to his room,

To see his true love dead,

Lying in her own blood.


Several miles away,

The stranger sits in his car,

The words of the woman,

Running through his head,

Remembering how she looked,

When she said,

"You took all that mattered,

You took my children,

You took any ounce of happiness,

I could have had,

Just kill me now,

'Cause death would be better,

Than sitting here my entire life,

Remembering this night,

Never able to stop the tears,

That will constantly flow,

Watching my husband,

Give up and leave,

Never having the chance,To watch our children,

Grow up and children of their own"
