Momma’s high and thinks of no one,

Lucy watched her mom with a fear of what’s to come.

As she sleeps momma drinks,

Lucy wakes to a slap upon her face.

Another night scared, hurt and alone.

“I love you mommy,” Lucy screams in her sleep.

A sleep that does not last when momma buys smack

Yet nothing to eat.

Lucy goes to school that day, momma stays home to play.

“Sewer rat, sewer rat!” The boys cry,

Still no one is there to take Lucy aside.

No teachers to insight the rules,

No friends to confide.

Another school day done,

Yet another night of momma’s fun.

Momma’s high and cares for no one,

Lucy watches momma in fear for what’s to come.

Momma now sleeps with yet another guy by her side,

Just to wake with words of hate.

Lucy’s beat with no room to cry,

“You stupid little whore!” she says to a daughter that’s four.

“Get Dressed you mistake of breath.”

Half past twelve momma takes Lucy out side,

Lucy can’t run nor hide,

The snow brightens the midnight sky.

“I don’t get paid to love you”

Momma sighs.

“I’ll pay you with kisses!”

Lucy cries.

Momma walks away content and satisfied

With leaving Lucy out side.

“Don’t leave me momma!!! I’ll pay you with kisses.”

Lucy died at a quarter past five.
