Offspring

Burnt y my own accord But only to an extent The girl I fell for has died A new one was not born, but sprouted from the ashes Her child will suffer consequences Greater than she deserves Without a father for protectionshe'll likely beat From the stress of teenage pregnancy So true-to-life my words are But only because I've been there before My mistakes are numerous, but this isn't one She is everything to me and more But the restraining order has kept me at bay I will not sit back and let her have her At night I slunk into mother's window Grabbed by the face and poured vodka down her throat Forced pills in her mouth to swallow Then cut her wrists deeper than mine It's suicide right? Now she's gone and I can have the one who matters
