rockoncheese101 Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 IllusionIts just an illusionIf you look at their family portraitThey look more than happyLife looks almost perfect The truth...It killsMommy dearest drinksLoving daddy is on pillsLittle girl always has to winLittle boy keeps all his pain within Their house is gorgeousNot one iteam oldIts all just ruby,silver,and goldIn this houseYou could get lostClothes...expensiveTry to guess the cost The little boy comes homeFrom an already bad dayLooks in the garageMommies car is in the drivewayHe runs upstairsTo hug and kisses herHe whispers to himself"Oh god i missed her" She can barely walkBlurry words when she talksIn her bed she sunkIt just takes one lookHe knows shes drunk She barely walks downThe endless stepsFinds her kidHe tells her to back off Only one visitorMe.So bad i wanna fleeGet outBut I cantIm so trappedHow can such a great big houseFeel so enclosed and small?In my mindEach wall was going closer to each wall "Aliciiia?" she yelled from half way upstairsThe little boy looked up at mehe said "you dont have to answer.."I did..He followed behind meShe wearily went in his roomPut herself on his bedClosed her eyes for just a secondEven then she looked worse than dead She said "Are you okay? Are you stressed out"The boy said in a regular voice "Dont answer..."She said:IM TIRED DONT SCREAMAll eyes back on meLast thing i knewShe was pouring out excuses Then it hit meJust to hardI had found outThat she did drinkAnd their winter was horribleAll she did was get trashedThe little kids got thrashedBut thisWas almost a daily basic with this picture perfect family After some things were said In that roomI ran to the bathroomFelt the tears pour out of my eyesShe knocked on the doorI said "Washing my hands"she leftI heard her go downstairsThe boy knocked on the doorI opened itHe said "Common, with those keys,mom will get far""Help me find the keys to her car" Before the keysWe found wineSome booze with the twistOf kiwi limeSome cigarettsFrom a womanwho never smoked The little boyEyes huge to seeWhispered crystal clear in my ear"Does she just want to die?Yes..she does. Why doesnt mommy want to be with me?"I couldnt moveThen i heard a voiceThat tried to soothComing up the stairs"Kids..where are u?"He grabbed the wineRan in the bathroomLocked the door As he poured out the wineIn the sinkHis cell got a callIt was his dadHe yelled to him "help i took moms wine, shes ganna get mad!"She knocked on the doorAnd said "Let mommy in..i have to get ready"I grabbed the wine nice and steadyHe replied "im not stupid...get away"The wine poured in the sinkevery last dropI knew that i could NOT stop He ran outI was in a closetHeard her coming in..I ran outShe grabbed meI pushed herRan down the stairs She still has this problemIm sorry to sayMy family isnt perfectNow I know..Neither are they. .
