Nine Nine Nine

by deadnalone   Nov 9, 2004


This is for my mum. I may not love her as much as i should be she always loves me, no matter what.

They're just downstairs, I can hear mum screaming,
I can hear his voice rise loud, to the ceiling,
He wants her gone and to take me too,
He says, "The only one i ever loved was you!",
It's all because she's gone and betrayed him,
She loved someone else and she kept him waiting,

I'm sat behind my door and I'm hiding,
I feel like i have no one to confide in,
I'm scared of him because he was jailed,
For hitting his first wife who utterly failed,
To stand against him, she wasn't strong,
Even though they'd been married quite long,

Now you see my mum is a different story,
She's had her fair share, her pride and her glory,
But she does not deserve his fatal end,
Just as her heart is beginning to mend,
After all of them had come and gone,
She never really settled after it all went wrong,

And here she is, all scared and shaken,
Dialing on the phone she's taken,
The vital numbers, the nine nine nine,
The ones that matter, the fighters of crime,
And then they came and i hid it all away,
I didn't tell them my fears i didn't even say,
How sad i was and how shocked and how scared,
And that led me to believe that no one cared,

And now i feel like i can stop shaking,
And i can stop all the thoughts I've been making,
I'm sat at this keyboard, it's all wet with tears,
And i can let go of all my fears,
I hope that this makes you stop and think,
That hiding and crying they'll just make you sink,
If you let it out, don't run away,
Then you will, one day, be okay.

This is a true story, a tale of a night i experienced myself as a child. I am still depressed now but i believe that if you let it all out it will be okay.

    Hey, I know this was a while ago, but my step dad treats my mom like crap, so I can relate. Things change over time, I'm sorry that this happened, but at least she is safe. I hope you meet a good guy.

    Great poem as always, good writing, nice imagery. Keep it up. 5/5
