i love. you laugh. we ponder. you sink and i drown. not even
a fishing pole made of tears can lure you back to my florescent
safety raft. our rafts have been made. of toothpicks. of twigs. of
my emotions.
"Karen! you cunt!". Oh god that feeling again. Mom and dad yelling. Everytime my stomach turns into a pit of cherries. He tells her that a shoe rack is a terrible idea. he calls her those words. oh god those words. "dick fucker!". She cries everytime and so do I. I cover my little brothers ears and stuff a sock in his mouth so they dont hear. Last time they did sammy paid for it. No little boy should have to see that come out of his mother. poor sammy so young, so broken.We rock back and forth. I tell sammy its gonna be ok, though I know otherwise. I have to do something i jump up and grab my louisville slugger. I remember when dad gave me that bat he said if I didnt hit three home-runs he would "shove it up my mother's ass" god he doesnt lie. I run out the door and swing blindly I feel that bat hit something Yes I've done it. I look up . Oh no, He ducked, I hit mom. Her head was completely severed. The blood rained on to my fathers head he wiped it off his glasses and proceeded to choke me. We fell to the floor. I saw sammies eyes under the bed he was vomiting. Those eyes were the last thing I saw my father spit on me as he squeezed harder I felt a pressure behind my eyes. They exploded out of my skull now darkness. I take it in with embrace. I see my mothers eyes iam finally home. "Mother I love you."
