In Death Do Us Part
I counted all the days
And I counted every night
I counted all the seconds
after I had to say goodbye

But here we are once more
After walking through deaths door
I finally reunite
With people I’d call a plight

I dreaded this moment then
And hoped it would never come
But the afterlife is real
And my anger makes me numb

I see all of their faces
I share all their blood
A flash in my mind
As memories start to flood

I remembered how my mother
Pushed me to the side of the road
And I remember that my father
Abandoned me at two years old

I remember there, my sister
Who always thought herself
A goddess or a deity
More like someone who needed help

I remember now
I remember then
The people standing before me
Ones I don’t see often

But instead of their expected hug
I only turned and said goodbye
For I’d rather be in hell
Than live with them nearby
