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
