Day 19 - Mum

Mum

(Jaquith, 2012)

Let the darkness surround me

No light in

No light out

No more children’s smiles

No more daily trials

Calm these voices that surround me

No more crying

No more laughter

No more fears

No more tears

Take it all away

The painful rasp of every breath

The agony of every movement

No more please

Take it all away

No wait ... !

Don’t leave me now!

Stay with me

I can’t breath
Hold me close

Kill the pain

Take it all away

Oh baby,
Please take it all away ...

This is not how it should be

This is not how it should be

This is not,

how it should be.
