Author's Note - This is a quick quip about when around 3 years old, and my transition into foster care.

Cold hearts and painful misgivings are all that's in this humble abode

Inside lies a husband who never shares his wife's bed as well as a wife who did not marry for love

3 Children inside sleep soundly at night deprived of blankets or love to warm them up

Tears run through a child's eye, as anticipation of when the next beating will arrive

Blood sprays the floor as the wife has finally had enough focussed only on the dangling corpse

Sirens pitch the night as two men enter the house with a lack of interest

Pinching their nose from the stench of bile they cut the rack of flesh down from the ceiling

Darkness enters my eyes, as I'm drug away from the lifeless body of my parents

A soft voice whispers in my ear " you'll never have to feel cold again "

Tears stream from my eyes in anticipation, because I know that blankets await me in a warm home.
