Mesmerized

I walk up to the house and think,
Why is this happening to me??
I am frozen in time as I can't even blink,
I finally move closer to make sure it's real things I see

Yellow tape and police are there,
So many people I have to go through as well
I get to the woman in the uniform here,
The police officer understands my babbling yells

I am brought inside and walked through the scene,
Unreal would be a simple word given to what I had inside to mull
The blood stained walls and lifeless bodies were out of nightmares and not dreams,
I bent down, pulled gloves on and touched her hair so curly and beautiful

There is never a right time nor a right sense of heart,
Figuring out why someone would want to take their anger out this way
It tore me up as I cried inside and it also ripped me apart,
I will NEVER forget seeing my first death of a small one that day

So think what you might about being a cop,
There is no getting used to or being desensitized
Yet until the murdering bast*rd is caught and put to death I just won't stop,
Searching through this hellish world with tunnel vision; mesmerized.

A powerful and strong story in your poem. When I saw death for the first time. It made me realize how weak the body is. Your words took me into the turmoil of the situation. I like the last line. Made the poem complete.

This is a very traumatic scene you have painted and gory as well. I don't do well with children being murder or abused. I don't normally read one like this but you have made a point and a strong one.
