I miss you, Mommy, do you miss me?1
I sit all alone, underneath this tree,2
Crying in pain, agony and hate...3
I blame not myself nor you, but fate.4

I sit in my room alone with my night-light reflecting my tears and fear. Lightning strikes outside and thunder booms through my ears. With a silver blade next to me and blood escaping my wrists and thighs, I stare at my reflection and frown. The cuts I made onto myself were of only angst and regret. Fear and pain.
6
I miss you, Mommy, do you miss me?7
I walk in a path that is just for you and me,8
Laughing and giggling, we share a bond,9
Unlike father and his demonic wand.10
11
Huddled in a corner I listen as you, Mommy, and daddy argue. With the silver knife next to my leg, I slowly whisper a hymn from the Bible and shiver in fear at the thoughts and memories that Daddy had put me through. The pounding of raindrops against my bedroom window represent the tears I have shedding... Is the storm me?12
13
I miss you, Mommy, do you miss me?14
I remember when I was at the age of three,15
Daddy would smile, laugh and cry,16
Saying that made me wonder why...17
18
The horrible memories of Daddy's thrusts, screams and grunts into me made me cry even more. The deep gashes into my legs and wrists continued to leak dark crimson fluid onto the white marble floor beneath me. With every slash I made into myself, the lightning struck across the sky and sound of thudner cry louder.19
20
I miss you, Mommy, do you miss me?21
I slash and cut but nothing cures me.22
I hear footsteps up the steps,23
I wonder if its Daddy with another lecture of misstep.24
25
Hearing footsteps up the stairs, I looked out my window as the window made tree branches scrape against the glass making a screeching noise. The repetetive sound of rain drops against the window were just like me; tears streaming down and will eventually stop, but...26
"Pumpkin? Are you OK up there?" 27
I heard my mother's sweet voice and I cracked a smile. I managed to squeal a soft 'yes', but soon I choked on my tears when I heard the shattering of a glass bottle and following a gun shot. Again, another lightning struck across the sky with another encore of thunder. 28
"Punkin? You OK up theeeeere?" I heard the slurring of words. 29
My father's voice.30
31
I miss you, Mommy, do you miss me?32
I sit here alone, alone and petite.33
My words are bleak, my body numb,34
All that's left are the teeth in my gums.35
36
Unable to act, I sat there frozen, hidden underneath the covers. Hearing my room's lock wobble loosively I cut even deeper, hoping that my silver friend could help me. 37
"Fainnnn?" I heard my father's voice, "I see you underneath those covers..." I could sense the devillish smirk on his drunken face.38
The rain poured harder now, my windows soon bursting open and heavy rain invading. Grimacing at the smell of my fathers breath, I clutched my silver friend and sat still for as long as I could.39
"Faaaiinnn... Daddy wanssss youu tooo come 'ereee...." His horrid slurring made me shiver.40
I don't want to feel Daddy in me any more, Mommy... I thought to myself, tears dripping to my open flesh wounds and the house shaking slightly due to the strong storm. The sky was really dark; dark enough to be a black abyss.41
"Fainn..." he said my name pleadingly again. I clutched my silver friend and smiled as I felt it pierce through my skin and blood escape my soft pink lips.42
I see you, Mommy, I see you now.43
Why you wanted to leave Daddy, and show me how,44
To escape my fate and relieve myself,45
My silver friend taught me that it is within itself.
