One soul’s heaven is another soul’s hell A silver silent scream from jaded jail The quiet roar underscores mind unwell Honeymoon of doom from grace I fell Never been so alone or far from home Arranged marriage to a person well known Riches of gold silver money are shared But what’s lacking lavender love and care It’s enough irony to make one weep I understand the truth I’m lucky you see He is handsome he doesn’t beat me Kaleidoscope kisses impregnate me So I am to be a mother in due time But I love another and that’s my crime I hope to escape by loosing my life Standing on the balcony taking a dive But then I feel a little kick in my side I am trapped in this cycle of life I cry My baby does live so I can not die Madd and sad I must persevere try It’s enough to make a soul fall apart Perhaps the child will soothe my heart A big job for such a small little baby It’s enough to make a mother crazy Never again will my life be my own My mind is splitting I feel so alone I look up to see blue fluffy clouds Somehow I can’t jump it’s wrong now I must forget I am sad my past life memories Repent pray for strength and healthy baby Perhaps the child will be my saving grace And these maddening thoughts will go away
