Life ends with death
Life ends with death :
If I could do it without hurting anyone I would've done it ages ago,
However, Because of the infant I adore so much,
I've had to put my death on hold.
Mama says she'll treat my baby as her own for as long as she lives but just the other day I heard mama call my baby a problem - A problem child.It was not long before dad jumped in to support her, adding that my baby is a basturd child and doesn't deserve to use his last name.
I cried so much - I rushed into their room with unstoppable tears and grabbed my little one without saying a word to them.
It is three o'clock,
I rush to my room,
Lock the door,
Head to the drawer,
I say a silent prayer.
I reached for my top drawer and got my razor,
I said a silent prayer again,
I tapped my baby's mouth to minimize the noise,
I cut her little wrists and thighs ...
It pained me but I had to,
When she no longer cried,
I tapped her whole body and wrote a note.
I then followed with myself,
The first cut is when mama swore my little one,
The second cut is when dad said not to use his last name,
The third cut is when baby daddy said he don't want us,
The fourth cut is to get rid of all the pain.
Cuts on my wrists,
Cuts on my thighs,
Cuts around my eyes,
Cuts around my chest.
Maybe to heaven we will go,
Maybe to hell we will end up in,
But doesn't matter really,
As long as I'm with my baby and we live no more !!
