FIND PEACE BEFORE DEATH
I loved and adored you as a child,
You resented my gentle way,
I tried so hard to please you,
All I held dear you stole away
In awe as you put on your lipstick,
I can still smell your expensive perfume
It was my mistake when I got sick
After that my dreams were doomed
I found safety alone under covers
You bullied my body and mind,
I felt sad for you my poor Mother,
So angry, so mean and unkind
Why did you happily invite them in,
Those wrought with evil intention,
Those not to be trusted, did things,
Their actions to horrid to mention
When I have asked you to tell the truth,
I knew every time I had wasted my breath,
I see in your eyes your guilt is the proof,
I hope you find peace before you meet death.
