I took a picture of that girl
written by suicide_penguin06:42 AM 3/13/05I took a picture of a girl
But she did not seem to smile
I sat there and I waited
For the longest while
I took a picture of that girl
But tears race down her face
At first thought she got hurt
Thats only half the case
I thought mabey she was in pain
She was, but in a different way
At first is wasn't sure of it
"Whats the matter?" I did say
But no reply rang out
And that school picture, re-taken
"Your boy friend must have left you
Or could I be mistaken?
"My father died this morning
But mother didn't care
She sent me off to school
As she played with her thick hair"
And as I heard these words
A pain broke in my chest
"I'm so terrebly sorry
May I hear the rest?"
"My father had woken up
And made a pot of coffee
Mother came in after
Thats when I had seen.."
"What my dear, sweet child
What action had you seen?
Did your mother hurt your father?
What could it have been?"
"A knife clutched in her hand
He didn't hear her coming
After that I blacked out
I woke up to her humming"
"She hummed a happy tune
My father was long gone
And mother told me he left
But I knew she was wrong"
"My father died this morning
And I think I'll be next
I'd explain it if I could
But mum is so complex"
Without another word
I sent her on her way
And I shot some pictures
At school the next day
The girl who didn't smile
Wasn't here this afternoon
I fear that her young life
Was taken much too soon
I should have done something
To prevent such action
Now I've learned I can't afford
Any late reactions |
