Black Poetry : Erika's Story( a sad tale)

[kaly]

See Erika didn't have any sisters or brothers
It was just the cat, her, Father, and Mother
Erika kept alot of family secrets undercover
Like how her Father loved her daily wit no rubbers
And like how her Mother loved her work with her multiple lovers
At 13 Erika was full of hate towards her dad
Which was sad
Because with mom always gone it was like dad was all she had
But yet it was dad who treated her so bad
and all she did wrong was try to play along and make daddy glad
By sex, cooking, and cleaning
What's next her body is feening
He knew he was wrong
She knew he was wrong
But still it went on and on and on
till she was finally grown
moved out on her own
And had a beautiful daughter
who she couldn't reveal was her Father
She didn't bother
To ever mention her Father...Bobby
Till today when we met in the lobby
It started off a simple converstation
about childhood education
And everything in relation
I never been in her situation
I guess after we talked
After she walked
Visioned those nightmarish thoughts
That were so terrible
They finally came unbearable
Cause Erika recited the Lord's parable
Before she grabbed the gun and pulled the trigger
Aimed and again pulled the trigger
Paused and again squeezed the trigger
Sirens screamed
Police rushed to the scene
from a call 3 dead ******s
