a dreadful memeory

by megra - Not entered

i try to forget the pain he's caused
sheltering my babies from the truth
i begin to cry,they ask me why
whiping away my tears,i stop in fear
placing my fingures beneath my noise
i smell the sent that gives me fear:
the smoke laced upon my fingures
reminds me of his face,his voice
i could smell it when he came home
'till i went downstairs to rest

racing to the sink,i scrub
my fingures raw,they bleed and ache
i fall to the ground in tears
trying to erase,the fear and pain
he has embeded in my head

Reason for writing:

    i wrote this when i smelt my hands after having a smoke an
all that i could see was my step father's face and
i was scared and fearing that i was becoming part of
him....that through all these years i had become him
careless....hateful
