The day my daddy died a new lover took his memory Mommy kept inviting strange men in the house They filled my lungs with poison They marked my body with bruises They cursed my very foundation They came in and out Changing the colors of Mommy's skin Taking her in shackles into the bedroom She hollered till her throat went dry She kicked till her legs went numb There was nothing she could do Until one day I walked into mommy's room She was hanging from a rope Glass bottles shattered on the ground I left and took what was left of her I am at her tombstone Barely able to stand upright I fall to the ground on my begging knees Cursing my mom for leaving me I stumble away My vision all blurry My words all slurry I am now long gone My new lover took my life Beer.
