And Then It Was Gone
4 September, 2004
Author: Seizure
There's a mother that loved her daughter and her sister and brother
There's not a thing that they could share but the love for each other
They were broke, on the street, left in the cold to die
The daughter looked at the mother and a tear fell from her eye
The mom that she knew was not before her now
She was defeated and broken and she never knew how
To face her worst fear, to not fail at life
She slashed up her skin, then cleaned off the knife
She couldn't face her loss, she couldn't face the light
She couldn't face a thing that could make it alright
She turned to face the wall, and pulled a bottle of pills
She swallowed them all for all her failed skills
She died in her sleep, her daughter broke down
Of everyone in the world, she was the only one around
The love that they shared faded like the dawn
Their love sparked so true, and then it was gone
