How to save a life

How to save a life

So you sit preaching
On how to save a life,
But ignore your teachings
Because your daughter sits alone with a knife,
And plays with it like the toys she never had,
And she is nothing but a stepping stone,
A blueprint of a broken home.

And the bells ring out for our salvation,
But I'm preoccupied with the station
And the promise that he'd meet me here,
But I've never learnt to adhere,
And don't really expect it in return.
I only needed a little concern.

So I gave up long ago,
And i never hated, although,
Please don't count on my love
I was told to get that from above,
And I don't really know how to share,
In fact I never even learnt to care.

So I'm the first from last generation,
I'm the next in line for vaccination.
You could find more affection on the corner,
But you got the excuses of a mourner.
And the defense of a mother,
One who never really loved another.

So you struggle to get the conception,
That's not another exception,
It's not something you fail to grasp,
How to save a life,
It's just something you never asked.

i just want to add that this is not me but based on someone i know very well but fail to understand.
