I look around this new place

To see people smiling ear to ear

Yet looking at me with great fear

So as I grow in fear they come closer

Watching me

Hurting me

Loving me

Then I saw this familiar face

The only one not smiling in the bunch

Pain and sorrow across his face

Its like....

I die when I see this..

So as his eyes hit the floor

I follow

See a child's face

Pale and white

Grim and dark

Full of past fear and pain

As I'm struck by the sight of blood

The man started to speak

First mumbles then clear

He speaks I am a monster..

Trying to speak

That I'm not

But I can't...

For I killed our child

Now he will never love me again

Or forgive me while he lives

So now I lost my family

As well as my sanity

Though I didn't care

Everything was about to change

As I strike him with the knife

Held firmly in my hand

Then proceed to do the same

To me

The voices did it I whisper

As I wake up with a start

In that dark

Almost empty room

I see my husband in bed

As well as my small child

So I fall back into nightmare infested

Slumber

Unaware

Of all the blood

Dripping drop by drop

My family?

Was just as dead as I was
