death penlaty/two mothers/one's thoughts... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I can't find this "closure" So many speak of on this day What you have taken What you have plied from my breast and heart and soul... I will never rest I am undone, undone for what has been done
I cannot close my eyes Screaming murals paint my lids Hell is where I live I cannot end this here I cannot let you sleep You must never rest You have slaughtered Not One...No! Over and over Again You have taken my only son and you have taken me I am the Walking Dead
I will not be there I will not watch another Mother Lose a son I know she lost him Long ago. Long Ago... But, hope she may have, I can't look in her eyes I can't look in her eyes I'll know her eyes will see What I have seen Over and over again
I cannot let this go I cannot turn away from the pain still so much Alive Inside and I Cannot See Now... (Too Late. Too Late.) You Die
I cannot watch I asked them, "Why?" They heard my plea... And still? They will Kill. Kill? Kill!
but, that won't bring back my son
I am the walking, screaming Dead Enough. Enough.
The Time draws near. It's worse, it's worse for me and I feel Your Mother Somewhere Here Beside me in this Frozen Hell.
Midnight
We are the walking dead This mother I can't see and me
It will never be over, I spit the word closure Out with the vomit of my silent screams...
You are gone and I wonder About my son, your mother, this "closure"... and know it is now no better.
We cannot find our sons
