Peaceful moments fill the air
Laughter as fun memories are being made
Smiling happily as the evening comes to an end
Preparing now for our daily rest
All of a sudden lightning strikes
Anger and tension fill the home
One event leads to another
Raised voices shouting at each other
Yelling.... screaming.... anger....
Continuous cursing… wincing at every word
Heart pounding with fear remembering the past
Remembering what he did to me before
Burning the bridge that had been rebuilt many times
Setting it on fire with his hot anger....
Common sense and reason were lost within seconds
Past pains uncovered with the words....
Now he has gone… possibly for good
Our last words… last memories were of hate
He’s gone, but the tension and anger still linger
Praying to God for the peace to return to us
Author notes
Let's see here... this poem is refering to my brother. Last night everyone was fine and happy. We were playing Catch Phrase (a super fun game) and then we all went off to bed. Then suddenly my brother got really angry and one thing led to another. My mom kicked him out of the house and my mom's boyfriend took him to the airport (we're in Florida, btw). That's the story and the poem explains the emotions. Only other thing I should explain is in stanza 3, the last two lines are just... my brother assalted me like 3 years ago or so (can't remember exactly). I wasn't hurt very much and I've forgiven him for it, but every time he gets really angry like last night, I get really scared again.
This poem is also similar to my poem "Innocent Tears"... just a different event. If you haven't read it, that's one of my favorite poems that I've written: allpoetry.com/Poem/1642592

This is good. I don't like people that get angry. It scares me half to death. Read my poem, either Me or Dad. One of those two poems or something. I don't know. When you read the things under the poems, it'll say something like "when I was little, my abused me and my brothers." Something like that I think. I don't remember. I'll tell you the story later if you can't find the poem.

brilliant
that's so sad. makes me want to cry! im sorry that happened to you. it reminds me of all the times when my sister and my parents got in fights over her old boyfriend (he was really bad news) and how she ran away and left for like a week one time because it got so bad.
anyway I liked this piece because I could relate to it. It's really hard to forgive someone after they've hurt you, too. I'm glad things are better though (even though you wrote this like a while ago)
