Tammy
i.
Childly youth surrounded her innocent mind,
full of rose petal dreams,
ii.
Father never came home..
until one day, with his new 'girl'
Mother cried....
iii.....and disappeared,
but Tammy stayed.
and clouds of loneliness hovered..
iv.
the years grew by,memories draped like curtains,
memories of darkness.
{spreading across the kitchen table}
v.
Tammy hung from the ceiling- like a chandelier,
only she had no light within.
only darkness.
vi.
surrendered, in a room that once
represented her childly mind
of hopes and dreams.
vii.
[yet her father couldn’t care less]
