If I loved you more like grace did
would we have made it?

                                                           Hey you, guess we're talking again?
                                          I can't say I understand where this came from.


Me.

Mother
was the first
to steal
my innocence

Death
will be my last
silent cry
to regain
my purity

This morning,
I’ve shed the heaviest tear
after twenty-one years
of deadly silence
