I was only three
When mommy showed me
Something I'd never wanted to see,
When I was only three
I saw my first body,
Withering in pain,
Sobbing,
Fading in and out of this world,
When I was only three,
I saw mommy,
Dying on the floor,
Bargaining with the reaper,
Lying in her own blood...
When I was only three,
I almost saw the end of mommy,
Hair in a pebble,
Pink frilly skort,
White and pink frilly shirt,
Fresh green and mud,
Caressing hands, elbows, and knees,
Staring at her body,
Paralyzed with fear,
I don't quite remember...
What happened?
But this one memory always,
Haunts me,
In my sleep,
Teasing my heart,
Reminding me,
Of when I was only three.
