Demented actions rule sweet dreams
Her big brown eyes the only witness
Family values torn at the seams
Violence is a way of life, it seems
And the mother struggles, scared witless
Demented actions rule sweet dreams
The child exposed to disturbing themes
is lost to his eyes of nothingness
Family values torn at the seams
Her mind is lost to horrific scenes
Her mother turns blue with breathlessness
Demented actions rule sweet dreams
A sign she'll be unlike other teens
shining through her forgetfulness
Family values torn at the seams
Her mother escapes his grasp, which means
her child will not be motherless
Demented actions rule sweet dreams
Family values torn at the seams

Villanelle - AbA2 abA abA2 abA abA2 abAA2 rhyme.
I don't hate this one as much as my first one. Actually...I don't hate it at all. I rather like this one, even though I know the rhyme is most likely forced and that it sucks. But I like it.
But anyway...apparently, when I was three years old, I woke up and watch my father almost choke my mother to death. I'm assuming that I either blocked out this memory, or I truly couldn't remember it if I wanted to. The inspiration was brought on in Psychology class, when the teacher was talking about how most can't remember anything when they were under three years old, except maybe something random.
So, um...enjoy my twisted childhood past? Fear it? Or you could just go away. Yeah. That would be good.

Ack. o o; Memories suck like that. Well.. not in this case, because you CAN'T recall it.. But yeah. o o; Normally it's the memories we WANT that we can't seem to recall.. 'Least as far as I've found them out. x x;
Uhhh.. ~Blank stare.~ ..OH! Yes; another lovely Villanelle, darling. ♥ Since I can't make love to the other one, I'll make love to this one. ~Nodded, humping is and such.~
