A Child's Nightmare

The door closed
I ran to my room
Momma and Papa were fighting again
Not only with words but objects as well

I heard more commotion
I started to hide
For I had a feeling, a deadly feeling
Of what was going to happen inside

Crash
Thud
Things were falling things were breaking
Who knows what Papa might do next?

Door slammed
Momma yelled
"Daniel put the gun down" I heard her say.
Don't tell me what Papa was going to do next.

Gun was being loaded
Mama started to cry
Papa's cursing would make a sailor blush
"Think of Hoshi!" Was Momma's last cry.

Bang
Momma screams
The gun went off as I covered my ears
The room was silent the house was deathly still.

Bang,Bang
Papa shot himself and I'm left all alone
No one was left cause Papa killed Mamma
Then he killed himself.
