The Night Mummy Died

My name is Laiila,
I was once ten
this is what happened
while i was in bed

He came through the window
Quite as can be
Mommy got up
Darkness
all she could see

He came for her jewels
But she put up a fight
If only he hadn't hit her
With all of his might

I heard her scream "Help me
But i did care
This was for all the times
She was unfair

S
he got what she deserved
To die in an attic,
All alone filled with dread
And panic

My Mommy's now dead
I would have been free
I
f only the murderer
Had not come after me

I scream and i yelled
But god has no pity
For people like me
Who live in this city
