Loved Ones Lost

Looking back the
signs were all there.
A wife, a mother,
lost in despair.

Living a fairy tale,
such a perfect life.
No one knowing of
her personal strife.

The demons in her head,
always screaming.
Lost her reality, and
thinks she's dreaming.

Losing her mind, she
can't find her way.
Deciding to take
their lives today.

She watches in silence,
little Brittney and Zach.
Then slowly takes the gun
from behind her back.

Visions at birth and
all the days after.
Through the gunshots,
echoing children's laughter.

Feeling the pain as
her children die.
Knowing that she has
no right to cry.

She says a prayer to
her children in heaven.
Brittney only three and
Zach just turned seven.

Calls her husband to
tell him her fate.
He calls 911 hoping
it's not too late.

He arrives to find her
lying by the phone.
A gunshot to the head,
done on her own.

He goes to the playroom
and cries out in pain.
There lie his beautiful angels
both have been slain.

It's all too much,
he can't live his life.
Not without his children
and his beautiful wife.

He goes to the cabinet
to find his gun.
Gets out a bullet,
he'll only need one.

Saying a prayer with
the gun to his head.
A shot rang out,
four people dead.

This is what happens,
no one to blame.
Loved ones lost to
the mentally insane!
