Daddy's got a gun Daddy's got a gun
Her whole world's come undone.
What did her daddy do?
He jacked the little bitty baby
The man has got
to be insane.
What did Daddy put us through
-AEROSMITH-
It was late Saturday afternoon.
Daddy had gone out to the pub - and when he came home, he beat mommy so badly that she has decided to
leave us.
“I refuse to take this anymore", she said, more to herself than anyone else.
She crawled to the master bedroom – wailing like a wounded
animal.
She managed to grasp a suitcase and start throwing her
clothes inside.
I watched.
I listened.
He saw her start packing and his attitude became immediately changed - almost desperate.
He stumbled down the passage – once or twice correcting his
near fall by balancing against the walls.
He poured himself another drink.
My dad had staggered his way back.
“Fuck you,” she spat at him and took a long draw on her
cigarette.
He came back.
With grandpa's gun.
I heard screams – but as though they were from a great distance.
My eyes were glued shut…and I had to open them.
Mommy and Bobby were both alive.
Mommy went to go and get the vacuum cleaner.
Kathy disappeared for ever.
Daddy said if mommy ever left he would kill us all.
We missed Magnum PI that night.
My Dear Friend, I know it is hard to be so honest and show SOME of the emosion. I love you, always!
