My Liquid Night

My liquid night
That feeds me sleep
Eats away
My mothers weeps

Kills
What I feel beneath my skin
Washes away
My fathers sins

My liquid night
That brings no dreams
Smothers out
The late night screams

It
Leaves me in a restful sleep
As it drinks away
My self-dignity

The only friend
I can trust
My only need
My only must
