on her death bed
staring at the moon
serenity devoured by the demons in bloom
she said
“I wish I could see heaven father but I have sinned
these are cracks within my bones
these are bruises on my skin
am I right am I wrong
give one reason to go on
I wish I was your perfect ten
I wish I could transcend
do you just stare?
Would you take my hand?
do you just stare?
please take my hand
don't just stare
you've shown no mercy
you've watched my pain
a gift-wrapped nothing is all you ever gave
a daughter cries
a brother runs
a mother screams in twisted tongues
a father hangs his head in shame
no one left to blame
soon
she's gone so soon
