Never thought my womb would turn into a graveyard full of tombs....
Was supposed to be a garden bearing blooms....
Sadly i gave all my babies the kiss of death ...
Deprived them that first precious earthly breathe...
Now my soul lurks in a vault clouded by sullen gloom....
My dreams are pervaded by fetal screams echoing from all corners of my room.....
Their tiny footsteps pacing up and down the stairs,
I get nightmares at noon...
I'm never at peace
Qualm be creeping upon my conscience
Dosed on pills and potions
Hoping they'd cleanse my conscience
But they aren't aiding
Should have been a mother
Embraced them with or without their father
But I played the Grim Reaper

Hope they welcome me when I meet them some day
Hope the lord forgives me and understands in a way
I didn't know what I was doing

I'm sorry my children, please forgive me
