A childs cry

by Lily Ashford   Aug 26, 2004


Here we go once again
another attempt
which drives me insane
this is what i was meant to do
i was meant to fall for you
but how did i know it would end in tears
you brought out my worst fear
and now its one more simple plea
ho help me come to be
as i tie the rope and take a breath
i look at our son our boy Seth
put the rope around my neck
i turn back for just one sec
i see he is asleep
and that makes me start to weep
as i say goodbye
i hear him start to cry
they get louder and make me feel
then i take the noose off i have to deal
i have to deal with our son
i have to deal until i go numb
i pick him up and say don't cry
mummy's here i promise i wont die
its a promise i never get to keep
2 years later i take the keep
you see you came back and killed him
and now i want my body to go limb
so once again i take the noose
put it round my neck
no wimber to save me
this is how its meant to be
i turn around to where he once slept
and then i feel inept
so i take the leap
and i fall asleep
the pain and hurt is gone
you were the one
who pushed me to this
