The Silent Scream

Now you lay me down to sleep The soul God prayed for you to keep. Sentenced to die before I awake, My life ended, because of one mistake. Though unborn my fate awaits, A painful death leads to pearly gates. As my limbs take leave, there comes a red stream, But you won't hear my silent scream. Metal clenches 'round my head, signals the time of death With no way to fight back, I take my last breath. I forgive you, not knowing the price to pay, My life was "your choice" either way. A mother's duty begins with life, your task ended with the blade of a knife. I will never know love or hate, Because to you, my life was yours to take.
