"CRIED THE TINY CHILD ….all of nine years old
The screaming it got louder, as she ran down to the source She stumbled past her mother, who never showed remorse She knew now what had happened, again blood marked the course And when she found her father, her stomach wretched with force "YOU'VE HURT HIM!” cried the tiny child all of nine years old. "Oh daddy please don't lie there, it scares me half to death" She moves to touch the bleeding, "Oh God please take a breath” She screams for mom to help him, but all mom does is stare She'll run and get the neighbours, at least they'll stop to care "DON"T BLOCK ME!" cried the tiny child all of nine years old. "I'm going to go get help dad, don't move or you'll bleed more" "I've got the knife that mom had, I'll walk her to the door But now mom's trance is broken, her eyes are glaring wide Mom lunges for her father, and smacks her to the side "PLEASE STOP THIS!” cries the tiny child all of nine years old The terror of the time span, it took to clear her head She mustn't lie there too long, or daddy will be dead She jumped upon her mother, and hit with all her might But mom had got the knife back, it gleamed within the light "DON'T DO IT!” cried the tiny child all of nine years old Then mom turned and daddy rolled, he screamed for her to hide But mom still had that strange look,” I’m staying by your side!" Once again time seemed to freeze, she shook from head to toe How long could daddy lie there? Oh God she didn't know "YOU SCARE ME!” cried the tiny child all of nine years old. Her feeling they were shattered, the worst was yet to start Of all the damage done here, who would repair her heart? The blood it just kept running, and mixed with all her tears The fact that mom just stood there, was raising all her fears "I HATE YOU!” cried the tiny child all of nine years old.
