She stood in the courtyard
And signed her breath over
To the shadows where her heart now resides
Beneath the stars
Her hopes buried
At the graveyard where she met God
She promised Him coins at the wishing well
And sacrificed all her wealth
Begged for the sake of love
If only He would listen
Life was His to give
But it was snatched before she was willing
Wondering aimlessly down the boulevard
Welcoming the unsympathetic burn of liquor down her oesophagus
Why was she given what was not meant to be hers?
A day of motherhood
Then a lifetime of pain that will never be filled
How can she breath
How can she live
Away from her child
Who turned all that she knew into a stranger
