Your brother is lazy
Your sister is crazy
And dusk has fallen

Feeling things fray
I quietly pray
We move along slowly

Your father eats bread
For mother is dead
And we share in silence

I untie my shoe
And wait for a cue
Your eyes close in longing

You rest your head
With belly unfed
I'm pregnant with sorrow

The time may not come
To become a mum
Disappointment's my burden

But perhaps you'll find
The choice isn't mine
Pleasing you always

When push came to I meant not shove
As deep within doth flow my love
But for now I must lament
Goodbye written, stamped and sent
For my mind I must prepare
As in my heart remains despair
You do not know what lies within
Courage lacking, heart of tin
Your cold bites have stung me deep
And now I simply cannot sleep
I didn’t know I could survive
Stabbing words with sharpened knive
But harder still has been to leave
For home without, I feel bereaved
Love you still so speaks my will
Just for now I’ve had my fill

Give me your heart
You know this part
Waiting for you
Passing first pew
What you can't know
Cause I'll never show
That my love for you
When I say I do
Weakens my soul
But I have a role
Together we stand
Woman and man
But what do you see
When you look at me
You haven't a clue
And so I undo
