I wrote this awhile ago and I felt it went well with the last piece I posted

I miss you
I hear you breathing
A step behind me

I miss you
never knew you
Only the cries
Beneath that urine soaked
Bathroom sink prison

To Him you were Satan
To me only David
I remember cowboys and Indians
Before dad became god
Stealing our innocence away

He spiraled down
We were evil
You were the Antichrist
Did God's will?
he said
I will always hear the screams
And smell the urine
When I think of it

I remember when you died
And I started
You screamed
He quieted you forever
In that big black suitcase
Like a piece of unwanted luggage

Smiling toward heaven
Threw you in that  black Dumpster
Dancing like a kid
Running through Kmart
Shouting victoriously
"I killed the devil!"

I miss you!
Too young"
To handle the funeral
Never had the chance to cry
So I have ever since

I miss you
I never knew you
I hear you breathing
One step behind
Haunting forever
Keeping your painful memory
Alive.

Ooh.  A very painful poem.  I think it is well written but I feel some periods at the end of some sentences would enhance it.  Give the flow even more power.
