To My Mother, Because I Can't
Say It Any Other Way
Part II
the gulf widens.
i bite my lip and try
not to cry
how could you be so prejudiced?
it's just like they say
but it's not over yet
falling
dying
headstones in a dead grass field
i fire the gun
but somehow it's pointed at me
my star of hope is falling, fading -
how could i be so blind?
and still i hold the blade,
clinging desperately
to that which is killing me
it's so hard to prove
when the evidence is my own
and i'm the only witness
how i survive
i know not
still sliding,
but learning to stand
the darkest hour is just before dawn
