Violet

home...

2 yrs later

it's been two years since I had Violet

I am now 18

and 

she is now 2

We are at fry's electronics right now

I just came from the airport where Mitchel left to go to the marines

Since the day Violet was born

we had been together

as a couple

I left my foster home

and my sister

for my daughter

I finished high school 

and am now going to UIC

I hold ont Violets hand 

we walk for a few minutes

and I see a grand piano

I just look at it

my legs no longer belonged to me

they went under the rope 

that was meant to keep people out

i sat myself on the seat

and lifted the cover from the piano

I graze my fingers atop the piano keys

I can't remember the last time I played

I want to play it so badly

I pressed a key and I was let loose

I began playing 

Moonlight Sonata 

the last song I remembered playing

I watch as my daughters head tries to keep up with my hands

All of my memories flood in

all of my pains from the past come into my body

everything I ever felt

was released unto me

as I played I let out my anger 

my joy

my sadness

everything 

I slowly come to the climax of the song

and I slowly finish it off

I play the last note

I felt at home

I look at my daughter 

and her wide eyes

she just looks at me 

and says

"I want try mom."
