Dear Mom and Dad,
I can’t tell you how lost I’ve been.
My stories would make you cry,
and I can’t tell you why I’ve sunk this far.
God above as my witness,
I just can’t win this fight.

Pray for me, Mom and Dad.
Pray that I’ll be okay.
Can God hear me drowning?
Does He hear me when I cry
alone?
Pray for me.
Who am I?
I cannot see.
Just pray for me.

Dear Mom and Dad,
it’s been so many years.
Would you even know me?
Do you see me in the street?
You would have kept walking
for the smell would scare you away.

Pray for me, Mom and Dad.
Pray that I’ll make it there.
Heaven is so much higher
than from where I fell.
Do you think God heard
when my body hit the ground?
Pray for me, just pray for me.
I don’t deserve Heaven,
and I’m so ****** afraid of Hell.

Dear Mom and Dad,
God told me you cried for me.
Today you went to my grave
beneath the magnolia tree, to sing
“Happy Birthday” so miserably.
Dad, you held her in your arms
as she sank to her knees.

Dear Mom and Dad,
*It’s been so many years.
