Memories Poem by Ali Joanne

Sometimes i think when the lights go out
I think back to when he hurt you
To the days you used to scream and shout
And it all started when i was only two

I wondered how life would be
If you both just loved each other
You always found a way to upset me
And even my baby brother

But one day came and you let him go
He came running and went through the door
I knew for a fact you hated him so
And we wouldnt see him anymore

I found out he was gone for good
He didnt even say goodbye
He never helped me through my childhood
He was never there to see my cry

I would cry alone every night
I could painfully hear you weep
Im just glad i couldnt hear a fight
And i could finally get some sleep

In my skin i carved his name
With the blunt side of a knife
I thought it was me they blame
And that i should finish it with my life
