It's my fault you died

I wished it upon you. 

Every night being a scared little girl in the Big Big world

just taking care of you, got the best of Me. 

Your addiction ran us dry

and scared the death out of me. 

I didn't know what was going on, except one thing: the alcohol overpowered you in a way. 

Every night when you hit me, I wished upon your death.

I saw it in my head and pictured everything, and exactly how it would happen. 

 

 What I didn't know was that my wish was going to come true.

As you lay upon that bed with me, 

and be dead.

It happened how I invisioned it.

I didn't mean to wish upon your death as I did.

 

 Scared as a little girl in the Big Big world, addiction already apart of my life.

I have myself to blame as your death was my fault, and your addiction also. 

I didn't try my best to keep you away from it,

I wasn't a Big enough of an influence.

It is my fault you are dead, 

I am truly sorry, 

that I wished upon it.


The author's comments:

What inspired me to write this poem was the death of my mother. This poem is dedicated to her in a way and it all my thoughts and feelings put into words. I hope people will get an insight into my past about her death and what led up to it. She was an alcoholic and it took are lives over. Alcoholism has been a part in my life since I was younger. I just wanted to get my feelings put out there instead of bottling them up.
