Thought she was laughing across the parlor
When her breathes turned to shrieks
And my ears began to reel- realizing
mascara was running down her face
She begged for breathe but the pain was too eminence
No one could say anything

Its stained in my memory
Every noise now a relief-
I heard a breaking heart
Mistaken for a flutter of joy

And still repeating in my head
the chanting of her children
"Shes crying shes crying"
