Will It Shake Me

The pain is so raw..as it eats at my flesh
I love my child, sometimes to death
I feel like a zombie without my soul
and without my ashlynn life is just cold
Without the desire to pick up my head
renders me useless, so she says
But there was a time I lived life full
money in my pocket, and the boys
 that drooled
It took him years to get me to this point
 from the LEO lioness, to a 
wimpy cowardess.
I am not a lost cause, for I am 
a great seamstress, creating corset's
if I could just run my business
I guess for now I can only see,
myself in the mirror and hope that
shakes me
