#4- Her Mother

45 3 1
                                    

The tears fall from her eyes

Red, tired and puffy

As she sits by the window and cries

And the air grows old and stuffy

Her head dangles in her hands

As her sobs grows louder

Her legs won't let her stand

And her heart has no more laughter

She cries her self to sleep at night

Regretting her whole life

Replaying the awful gut wrenching sight

Of her mother and the knife
