portrait of my past mom

The dreaded doorbell ring 

reminds me of you last spring.

Your yells pierced the halls,

While I was being closed in by your walls.

I never really lost you but yet you're gone.

How am I supposed to move on

when all my blood has drawn 

is a portrait of the person you were

 instead of the person you are?

I know it's in my dna, but I hope I don't end up like you

someday.

I hope I end up like you were

before the cops took you away 

for murdering her that day.
