Trigger
a hurt so deep it cuts like a knife
a wound that will never heal and a
scar that will never fade and a
boy that won't know his own name
and a girl who can't remember the way it
feels to fall asleep without
the monsters' shadows flickering
on the walls and her own
screams distrubing the peace and a
sad,
sad
story
no one would hear.
a punch to the gut
a bullet to the brain
the pained cries of a now childless mother
and the slient tears of a father who barely knew his own son
and a sister who can't remember how to breathe
and a brother who can't recall the color of his own eyes
and a broken family who will never be whole again.
a lonely girl who cries every night
remembers the taste of blood on her lips
and a friend who is breaking under the weight
and a terrified father, lost and confused
and a tragic accident no one else will remember.
