One to Five

by John - Capricorn

Opened my eyes to my mother
"Hello sweetie good morning to you"
The site of my father
"Peek-a-Boo"
They both are loving
I have to be lucky
Can I have my rubber ducky?
One to two 
I grow
Three to four 
I grow some more
Over the years I have learned to
Walk,
Talk,
and other things
The things they bring
My thoughts start to drain
Because I see now life is pain
Who's to blame?
Hello Im five today
Are you ok?
Dad?
What are you doing?
The heart has stopped moving
I see the bullet hole
Warm blood I start to hate
Like a bad date
I have lost a soul mate
Locked in a casket
Stuffed like fruit in a basket
Should I say goodbye father
Why bother
Im living with rage
My feelings I keep locked in a cage
I age
Time to turn the page.
