she stands there all alone
acting like nothings wrong
she knows whats she has done
and she has to go along
act like nothings happened
with everyone all around
but screaming on the inside
without making any sound
she sits there in the darkness
when everyones alseep
thinking of the crazyness
as she begins to weep
hoping she can handle it
while the sun begins to rise
she calms herself a little bit
but then with her surprise
she sees some feet in the grass
coming from underneath
finally she gets off her ass
running to the feet
takes a little shovel
and began to dig them in
making it all level
making sure its even
looking at the door to see
if anyone has woken
with out hesitation to be
she calmly walked on in
looking at her dirty feet
and nails filled with dirt
she quickly grabbed a sheet
as she heard little Kurt
getting out of bed
to come say hello to her
she quickly laid down her head
closed her eyes and faked a snore
later in the morning
when she had woken up
a woman stood the mourning
grasping at a cup
that is when she looked to see
her family in surprise
her husband in misery
and looked at her in despise
her son was standing next to him
confused of whats going on
looking on at all of them
thinking what has he done
she looks up behind her
in a little worry
then seeing someone there
she got a little queasy
they took her by the hands
put her in some cuffs
as they walked across the land
she stood up real tough
without looking back at them
she knew her husband hated her
her son had a look of grim
as away they took the killer
the feet belonging to a boy
who teased her little son
her son being twelve and coy
the boy sixteen and a punk
she just wanted revenge
but didn't want death
she scared him with a wrench
accidently hitting him in the head
she buried him in the yard
thinking they'd never know
but what wasn't way to far
was watching her little show
from right inside her room
did her husband see it all
and within his little room
did he make a little call
they said the time will come
and soon by the dawn of day
finally did the cops come
and take this criminal away
a story of a family with very serious problems, a boy to coy, a man that can, a teen to mean, and a lady to hasty...all with some little problem that could have been fixed all with a little talk and not with a wrench
