She said that it was nothing,
she told her she'd be fine.
But later; when approached,
breathless she was lying.

After all of the time
she'd noticed her crying;
she never once thought
that she contemplated dying.

Left with nothing but regret
over what she could have missed,
They placed her in her coffin
and she gave a goodbye kiss.

Her cries were all neglected,
so she ended her pain.
Leaving no chance for Mother
to neglect her child again.
