Final Chapter
IT WAS NIGHTS OF SWOLLEN EYED AND DYLOOTED TEAR DROPS
TIGHTLY HELD TOGETHER BY HER LOVE
SHE LAID BESIDE ME AS CLOUDS IN THE NIGHT WATCHED US AS IF THEY WERE OUR GUARDIAN ANGEL
THE CLOSER SHE HELD ME THE MORE HER LIFE WAS LIVED THROUGH ME
DARK DAYS SHE TRIED TO PUSH PAST SHE LETS HER LOVE FOR HER KIDS
BE HER REASSURANCE THAT CIGARETTES AND ALCOHOL ISNT HER ONLY TRUE LOVE
SEE WE LOVED THROUGH HOSPITAL BEDS AND GOWNS
SEE OUR LOVE LASTED LONGER THAN HER SEIZURES
OUR LOVE WAS SPREAD LIKE THE ALCOHOL THAT DESTROYED HER KIDNEYS
BUT SHE SMILED LIKE GOD HAD GIVEN HER A MILLION ROSES AND TOLD HER SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL
SHE LAUGHED SO THAT YOU COULDNT SEE THAT AT HOME IT FELT LIKE HELL
IT BURNED LIKE ACID AND IT HURT LIKE THE WORLD WAS POURING ACID ON HER OPEN WOMBS
BUT SHE LOVED MORE THAN ANY WOMAN I KNOW MADE SURE THE WORLD WAS AT OUR FEET MADE SURE WE TRUSTED HER
EVEN THOUGH OTHERS TOOK OUR INNOSENCE
SHE WAS MY HEART SO FOR HER EACH BEAT HAS ITS OWN RHYTHM BUT THEY WONT RECORD THIS ON THE RADIO
CAUSE THEY ARENT READY FOR THIS KIND OF TRUTH
THIS IS HONESTY THE ONE THAT CAUSES BAD DREAMS, AND TRAUMA
THE KINDS THAT CAUSES YOU TO SLEEP UNDER YOUR COVERS AT NIGHT
DAYS SHE SACRIFICED HER BODY FULL OF BRUISES AND LONG ARGUMENTS
PUSHING AND SHOVING BUT SHE KNEW SHE WOULD NEVER STOP LOVING US
SO NOW THIS CHAPTER IS OVER AND GOD HAS RESTORED HER HAPPINESS THAT LIVES INSIDE THIS 4'9 100lb BROWN SKIN GIRLS SMILE
THE CRAZY PART IS THE WORLD WILL NEVER BE READY FOR THIS KIND OF
TRUTH
