Not My Daughter, B
Well, You Kept me up until 4 again
but i’d do it every day
because when I brought you home
I swore to keep the boogie man away
I could do with the monster in your closet
or the goblin hiding under your bed
But I was ill prepared for
The Demon that resides in your head
I prayed to God it would skip you
Made promises I could not keep
Naively I blamed hormones
and silently I would weep
The D word stole my baby
I’m trying to take her back
But that nasty, ugly monster
Was quick in his attack
Depression, you stole people I love
And I know they’re forever gone
But not my child, not my light
You think you can keep her but you’re wrong
Tell her romantic lies
create cruel visions in her mind
But i’m a much worse monster
A mother’s love, you’ll soon find
Is nothing to be messed with
Victory is mine
*The title? Harry Potter fans know...
