Sian's poem-Week 3

“Mummy was bad”
“Mummy was bad”
The words that echo through her brain.
The worst thing a mother could hear.
Horrifying, terrifying, traumatizing.
What makes a father kill his child?
He felt helpless.
He didn’t feel like he had a choice.
He didn’t want to live without them.
Love?
A haunting cocktail of rage, jealousy, revenge, hatred.
How can I possibly sympathise with that?
“Mummy was bad”
“Mummy was bad”
Their final words, Nina and Jack.
