Death

Here lies your mother The one you betrayed The one you hated The one you threw away Here lies your daughter The one you didn't want The one who stood beside you The one you'd rather taunt Here lies your sister The one you always teased The one who claimed your trouble The one whose life was seized Here lies the only truth Each one of you have known The one who would have given anything To have a little love shown You backed me in a corner You left me there to bleed You turned when I reached out to you My want you did not need My blood runs thinly down my arm On the floor it does stain In your hands time won't heal My suffering or my pain All I ever wanted All I ever had All I ever needed Left me all too sad
