Venus (Book 2)

they

they kept me distracted

they kept me okay

I didn't have to listen to screams

I didn't have to hear objects crash

I didn't have to see eyes

their eyes

it broke my heart

seeing them in pain

it was sad

for every time I looked them in the eyes

I saw myself

being just like them

in their eyes

I saw my future destroyed

in their eyes

I died

but

they

they kept me safe

under their arms

I would smile

being chased around

like a kid is supposed to be

but when they left

the only distraction I had was the back yard

hanging out with creatures I called my own

I raised many of them

they passed on

but soon

I grew too old and too tired of the yard

more focused with studies and stayed at home

little did I know

home was killing me without them here
