Sour Cream & Onion Corn Nuts *⚠️trigger warning ⚠️*

Sour Cream & Onion Corn Nuts

hit the floor in slow mo

as my heart fell below

the surface of the Earth

I stood on

*

My stomach felt empty

*

I was only gone for a moment

Enough time as it took

to walk into

the laundry room

to grab a snack

*

One doorway away

outside the garage

*

One moment away

from stopping

this disaster

*

He stood there

the iron club in his fists

over her laid out body

cold and battered

her bloody face

*

When he saw

the ghosts

leave my body

he ran away

*

In that moment

everything had changed

He took the sister

I once knew away from me

*

I felt such rage

I could not explain

Today I grieved again

for the sister I lost that day

*

With all honesty

I don't know what would be worse

having her die

in front of my eyes that day

or

seeing her still alive

watching her become a ghost

of her former self

haunting the skeleton that remains

*

With one moment

One swing of his hands

he took her away

I pray to god as I cry

Maybe she'll return someday
