I dry the blood from your tiny little eyes
Cradle you in my arms until they arrive
Too late, you're gone, but I won't release
Once I do, as a mother I will cease to be

You were a part of my soul and a demon
took every part of you from every
inch of and every love you had for me
My loss, my every, clarity I don't see

Every loving memory, shattered in a second
Like a hurricane, this day painfully reckons
All it took was a man to disregard your life
For the rest of my days, leave me in strife

Take all of me
You demon
End all of me
You demon
**** all of me
You took my child from me
You're blind to what you see

I refuse to release your little arms
I was meant to protect you from harm
I deny that you are so far away from me now
I failed you, I love you, I took a vow

A mother always protects her baby
From the forces of the deadly
souls of this messed up world
But I could just watch you hurled
Right through the windscreen
I could not intervene
I won't release my grip
This wall lost every brick

Every now inch of me
broken glass of memories
You shattered
The storm weathered
You demon
Destroyed me.
Take every inch of me
This is written from the perspective of a mother losing her daughter to a drink driver.  Ironically, I got done for high mid range drinking about 12 months after I wrote the series of 7 poems over the Easter Break. Lost my license for 8 months, first time offence. The bottle shop was just  a 2 minute drive away and it was 10 pm at night.
