why

you sit there

laughing at me

as you start hitting me

then you run to the kitchen

grab a knife

i struggle to keep the knife from going in me

you win soon after we start fighting

the knife stabbed be 33 times

i felt every time the knife entered

when im dead you take me 30 miles from home

and start digging a whole

big enough for me

when the whole is dug you take me out of the trunk

you are you still hitting me im dead now

you drop me in the hole

3 days later a farmer starts planting corn

he hits me with the shovle not knowing i was there

when he does he calls the police

they catch you why didnt you want anyone to know i had you baby?

it wouldve been easier than spending life in jail.

Ms. White, there are only a few writers on here who leave me in shock when I read their work. This piece had me just sitting and staring at the words for 5 minutes. VERY GOOD job!
