A Moment to Treasure & a Moment to Regret

by *K~L~C*   Nov 14, 2004


It was 2 months before my 6th
I was excited and could not wait
I was about to be a grown up

You always gave me what I wanted
So I knew this birthday would be a
special one
But 2 months before, the signs
started showing

You and Momma started arguing
And over the smallest possible
thing
So she packed up me and my
brother
No one knew what pain this night
would bring
We went to Babara's house
We knew for sure she would let us stay
By the time we were unpacked and
ready to settle the phone began
to ring
We knew it was you
But Momma did not want to answer
You kept trying but still no one was
brave enough
So you gave up and left a message
You told me you loved me and I would
always be your little girl
But the rest was just a big slur
So I knew you were drunk
I no longer wanted to listen

A few hours later you started to
bang on the door
"Shhh! Be quiet and lay low to the floor."
I was so confused cause I knew you would
never hurt me
But she still would not let you
Only if you promised it was only for
a few

I was happy she let you in
But I was sad cause I did not want you
two to fight

You took me to the laundry room
And sat me upon the dryer
Once again you said that you loved
me and I would always be your little girl
You said, "Do not believe your
mother."
And that she was a lyer
All this was weird but I cherished
every moment

We said our goodbyes
And you left to go home
Now I wish I would have gone with you
Cause then I could have saved you

We got a call and left in a hurry
Between this and that my memory
is blurry
Paramedics were there so I knew
this must be bad
I stayed in the car
And watched as my mother crumbled

She sat on the steps crying
So I cried too

For the next two years I gave my
mother living hell
I told her it was her fault you were
dead
Then I told her I hated her
And did she ever really love you
But now when i think about it
I wish I could take it all back
Cause two years later
She died too
