My mama was my life,
And very special to me.
But all that changed one day,
When I was only 3.

I can still remember it,
Like it happened yesterday.
I can still recall the events,
In every tiniest way.

They stormed into my house,
And grabbed me by the hand.
They made more noise ever than,
A big brass marching band.

She was screaming, she was crying,
Begging for me back.
The only reply that she got,
Was to get off the crack.

As I looked at her,
The tears rolled down my face.
The only things that I got tolled,
Was that she was a nut case.

My mama never hurt me,
Or ever made me cry.
My mama would do anything for me,
She would even die.

Now now I am much older,
15 to this day.
She is still fresh in my mind,
And all the things she'd say.

She always said that life,
No matter what you do,
Is exactly what you make it,
And I'll always be with you.

anonymousfemale: powerfully beautiful... excellent job, you nearly moved me to tears... i must ask though, is this from personal experience?...

sincerely,
jerome the boy with no brain

 A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!

Thanks guys.

This isn't from my experience but it happened to my best friend of 10 years. She explained it to me in detail and wanted me to write something like this for her. She only just told me about it 2 years ago.
