Bruised and Scarred
Hello again. Here's another poem by me. This one is an angst type Ruki one. It tells of her father and how he abused her when she was young. This is an AU so forget anything you know about her father. R&R please.
Bruises
Scars
Still there after all of these years
All because of him
He did this to me
Slapped me
Punched me
For fun
I was his toy
Used when he was mad
I couldn't defy him
I was too young
And he would get even madder
One night he took it too far
Mother got involved
He threw her across the room
Told her to stay out of his business
Then came toward me with a bat
Come here he said
I won't hurt you
I knew better
But did anyway
First he slapped me
While telling me how worthless I was
I began to cry
The pain was too much
Then he raised the bat
I put my arms up in defense
(like it would do a lot of good)
Suddenly I heard a crack
I opened my eyes and looked
Dad was out cold on the floor
And mom was holding the remnants of a vase
She had saved me
We knelt down by him
And wondered what to do
When suddenly
His eyes shot open
And he grabbed mother's neck
Ruki, help
She gasped
I ran
He tried to grab me
But I was too quick
I knew that I had to do something
I ran through the rooms
And ended up in the kitchen
Something caught my eye
A big butcher knife on the counter
I grabbed it and ran back to the living room
He didn't notice me come in
He was too busy choking mother
I took the knife
And rammed it into the back of his neck
He let go of her
And rolled over
Blood seeping from the wound
I ran to mother
She held me close
And told me everything would be all right
I knew it wouldn't be
I had done wrong
Two months later there was a trial
We won but I was sent away for awhile
They thought I had problems
I came back after a few months
Not much they could do to a six year old
Life was different after that
And it's all his fault
No one knows my secret
Someday they will
But for now
I keep the scars hidden
After all these years
So what'd you guys think? Review it please.
