A Heart Still Beats
I see, you don’t know
I know you won’t try
I try and let go
I know I can’t fly
I feel, you’re enraged
Enraged that I feel
You feel, I’m estranged
With intentions, ill
Your own flesh and blood
Blood from your flesh
I stand where you stood
But you did it best
My mother’s child
The child, I mother
Twice, defiled
But, we 3 are lovers
We strayed from your womb
Your womb left us stray
You never made room
Or a comfortable stay
We are who we are
We’ll be who we’ll be
Beneath the scar
A heart still beats
