~NEVER FORGOTTEN~ I shall never forget that stormy night when I was eight years old, you awoke me in my bed and screamed to my Mom "(she's) going to die," a father's words so unloving and cold Your eyes were bloodshot red as you stood there in fury, you tortured us the whole night through with your gun pointed right at me, punishing us for the emptiness in you She weeped and begged and pleaded at your feet "to let her baby go" while the lightening outside my window violently danced to the resounding thunder of your no! Helpless, I sat and watched you hit and emotionally destroy my Mom as the endless tears fell in sorrow, for, the ruthless look in your eyes convinced me that we would never greet tomorrow I shall always believe that guardian angels protected us that night for, being alive today, is evidence that it is true, but, I know that hell does exist on earth because of the devil in you The memories, the beatings, the cruel words said can never be washed away with the rain for, nothing on earth will ever rid my heart or mind of this neverending pain The physical scars that you put on my body have since healed like a broken-winged bird flying again in the sky, but, the fear within me still shows on the outside whenever the child inside of me starts to cry Although we have escaped your grasp, the haunting visions that reply in my mind will never cease, for, you shall never be forgotten, daddy, leaving me with the bitterness of never being at peace That eight year old little girl had to grow up far too soon and all of the hurt and pain that you have caused will always remain, like a dead flower forced to forever bloom By Melissa Honeybee < !signature--> The beauty of poetry gives me wings to fly [This message has been edited by Melissa Honeybee (edited 09-01-2000).] |

*sigh* another tragic story, tragic childhood. Melissa I'm so sorry you had to endure this, that any child would have too.. *hugs* Glad you escaped him, and hon it's an old adage but it still stands true - "That which does not kill us makes us stronger!" And I can just about guarantee that lessons learned from all this, have made you a better person. And I know you will be a much better wife and mother because of it too. Beautifully written and thanks for sharing with us ...  Isis *Our deeds travel with us from afar, and what we have been makes us what we are..* ~Isis~Goddess~~Sovereign of the Spirit~ |

Oh  I am so sorry that happened to you. To write about something so close and personal to you must have been hard. Take care. ~ Tara ~"A poem should not mean, but be" - Archibald MacLeish |

I'm sorry you had to go through this, such hard things to say... Hope you're getting over it, writing about things does help. I can't believe how people sometimes use all the humanity, especially when it's someone who's supposed to love us and take care of us... It's a terrible story indeed. Glad you escaped in time. ((hugs)) for you darling. |

I dont know how you were able to write this. As I read it I could just picture the stormy night. I am sorry to hear that this happened to you. But just like Isis said "That which does not kill us makes us stronger" |
