You cant escape it, you cant shed the distress and life seems to defy you....
My Daddy lost his wife and his job
He was a mess and had no clue
Of how he would care for this tiny being
His baby daughter - what to do???

The bed was scarred and tainted
Slashes of deep, red blood lined the linen
The previously angelic sheets
Now appeared revealing the hidden.

Blood congregated in large puddles,
It seeped miserably down into a blood-lined carpet.
Diagonal lines of red patterned the walls,
I was perplexed - was i the target??

Blood dripped effortlessly down from the table,
It poker dotted the floor.
A some what beautifully horrific scene
Was ruined by the body that hung by the door.

Back and forth the motion swung
His clothes blood stained and shabby
Why did he slash then hang??
Why did the suicide take my daddy???
