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
