She Knows Not

Look down. I'm taking a drink tonight {just like every night} One sip for me one sip for you My little one Do you feel the buzz yet, poppet? Is your heart beating faster like mine is? Let's have another glass//shot//bottle, Maybe that will make things better. Make things better for you, darling, That’s all I want That's why I'm sending you away Pulling you out of me, where you should be (Don't worry, I won't look at you when they put you in the trashcan) The savior-trashcan rescuing you from The downs syndrome that might have been [excuse me while I take a hit] The retardation that might have been [excuse me while I do a line] The angry disposition that might have been [excuse me while I take him in] Oh, my little cabbage, Either thou, or I, or both must go See, looky there, we have a little Shakespearean tale of our own Isn’t that nice? Either thou, or I, or both must go And no, I am not ready As much as I crave the sound of the flatline, I have no craving for MINE right now. So drink, drink up and hold it in, little poppet Drink from the poison of my blood Drink up Enjoy, darling little one. Look up. “Forgive her, She knows not what she does,” Cries the Martyr in defense of the Being that Mangled, tortured, raped her of Everything. “She Knows Not what she has done.”
