Eva

 

Once there was a girl who was loved,

 

 but she didn't know it.

 

Ever since she was young, the girl, 

 

Eva was her name, had been hit.

 

Never knowing 

 

how to make it stop,

 

She decided to stop depending 

 

on the clock,

 

Eva thought death

 

 would escape her abusive mother, 

 

And shortly after

 

 came the death of her brother.

 

 

 

Eva's brother 

 

By this individual, 

 

Eva was loved the most.

 

He couldn't stand her absence

 

So he turned himself to toast.

 

 

 

Eva's  mother

 

This person changed Eva's life,

 

But for the worst.

 

This physical abuse  

 

Must be a curse.

 

Eva's  father

 

A person who was never around to see Eva.

 

He took off when Eva was one, her brother four,

 

He never heard her cry when her mother beat her.

 

He left them all alone with unthinkable torture.

 

 

 

Eva's friends

 

There were only a few

 

She could call her friend,

 

But they made fun of her

 

And certainly didn't help in the end.

 

 

 

Eva's tool

 

A .12 gauge in the drawer 

 

of a barely used desk.

 

She takes it out,

 

The trigger does the rest.

 

 

 

Reactions

 

Besides her brother,

 

Nobody in her family cared.

 

But her friends were stunned,

 

They didn't realize her despair.

 

 

 

Eva's story ends here.

I was inspired by articles in the paper about siblings committing suicide
