Keefe- Betrayal

10 2 2
                                    

I could almost taste the blood.

From when she punched me in the mouth.

My own mother,

the one who I thought was better than my father. 

Betrayal,

Survival,

And everything in between.

When Sophie looks at me,

I can tell,

she wants me to keep fighting,

to not give up,

no matter how defeated I am.

Sophie ran towards me-

not Fitz, 

not Bangs Boy,

no, she tried to run to me. 

Of course, Mommy Dearest stopped her.

But she tried to run to me.

I made note to ask her about that when we got out of this.

IF we got out of this.
