'Til my last breath

By Minioness | From heart to heart <3 | 17 Oct 2020


Son is coming home with bleeding nose
"Mommy, that boy hit me again."
Mommy watching TV, waving him away
"I'm watching news baby, don't make so much noise."

Next day boy comes home from school
with bruise under his eye and broken lip.
"Go to you room sweety, i'm not in the mood.
I have to prep for a business trip."

"Mommy i don't want to go to scool today,
my tummy still hurts from the hit i got yesterday."
"Don't waste my time sweety, i have to go to work.
Be strong, you can't stay at home because of one dork."

Late in the evening mom comes home,
finds her sweety on the bathroom floor.
Next to him is handwritten bloody note
and empty bottle of pills next to the door.

"Sorry mommy, i know i was trouble.
Sorry mommy, i was too weak.
Now i'm making no more trouble.
I love you 'til my last breath."
