Vehement rage pierces Like shards From a glass once half full; Viscous sorrow, Exposed remorse, Bludgeoned pride, Impassioned anger, Bottomless love. Tears caught in these cracks Run the length of his soul, Stretched too far to ever be the same. You **** you shot his baby girl. Surely, the Harrowing of Hell wasn’t any worse than this? Please God let this man feel hunger again, Let him conquer the infernos, Let him take her back from gates infinity. She should not have to wait for her father there, Let him wait for her. You stole not just a moment but a lifetime When each bullet punctured a parent’s caring nourishment; One for each year; Four lodged in arms and legs, Three between shoulders, Twice through his heart, once between her eyes. Each one garnishing a rose red, then black. Each one sinking clenched fingers into fleshy palms Each one a hardened fist. Each one, Screaming, Sorrow. It takes a lot for a man to shed a tear Every teardrop steels a cold hard revenge. Killer beware, he will not rest his grievances (This man’s eyes have wet his anger for five long years) Fear the unforgiving wrath of a parent’s love, The devil’s hand cannot help you now.

Real Fear Comes From Love
Vehement rage pierces Like shards From a glass once half full; Viscous sorrow, Exposed remorse, Bludgeoned pride, Impassioned anger, Bottomless love. Tears caught in these cracks Run the length of his soul, Stretched too far to ever be the same. You **** you shot his baby girl. Surely, the Harrowing of Hell wasn’t any worse than this? Please God let this man feel hunger again, Let him conquer the infernos, Let him take her back from gates infinity. She should not have to wait for her father there, Let him wait for her. You stole not just a moment but a lifetime When each bullet punctured a parent’s caring nourishment; One for each year; Four lodged in arms and legs, Three between shoulders, Twice through his heart, once between her eyes. Each one garnishing a rose red, then black. Each one sinking clenched fingers into fleshy palms Each one a hardened fist. Each one, Screaming, Sorrow. It takes a lot for a man to shed a tear Every teardrop steels a cold hard revenge. Killer beware, he will not rest his grievances (This man’s eyes have wet his anger for five long years) Fear the unforgiving wrath of a parent’s love, The devil’s hand cannot help you now.
