If I should die before I wake, don’t cry, For that was what I always wanted…

You’re horrible, And I hate you. But this is me. I’m the only person That I can’t escape.

Things I wish I could say Would be I miss you, I love you, I want to be with you,

You don’t ask me to speak. You never expect my opinion. I was your second child In a runaway marriage. I suppose I loved you once,

If flowers could cry, Would the water out-spilled Also drown them Like a sloshing grave of Wet mud?
