Family Secrets

Submitted by mmugk1 on May 2, 2008 - 09:52.

If someone were to ask me what was under my house,

I would tell them

family lies and secrets

dead bodies

dirty money

that jar of pennys I buried when I was 12

you'd find

hidden treasures

cat skeleton

cinder blocks

tires

pipes

cobwebs with dreams stuck on them

a gun with one round

empty beer cans

broken bottles

the monster that lived under my bed at 7

but scared away to under the house

because my dad threatened him

old valentines

ashes from burned love

empty holes from missing things

nothing more then a few things

you don't have
