Not Alone. Never Forgotten
The sky weeps.
Roaring at the injustice as she lay
The cold creeping, leaving her with nothing to say
There was nothing left
Everyone knew
Again, again, again
She pulled the air to her
Push, push, push
She presses her frail heart forward.
She knew
The weight of her life pushes and pulls
It tugs at her frayed nerves
Pushing the useless poison
All through her veins
Her momma did nothing but cry
Her papa’s bottle never left his hand
They both knew
Never again had she seen the fields of gold
The sunshine that so fondly kissed her cheek,
Or felt the wind play with her hair
Maybe because they knew too
As the wind howled
As the clouds roared
She could tell
That they knew too
She would die here tonight
The skin of her head smooth
Her bones rough and tired
Sacrifice!
The lamb willingly walked into a cold world
Where they knew, and she knew,
Where everyone knew
That the pushing and pulling
Was coming to an end.
That all was left in her journey through loneliness
Was sleep.
