o mother what have you done
you didn’t know it was wrong
she has been gone for so long
or has she
her heartbeat still lingers
when you close your eyes, you see her little fingers
you see her face in the mirror
every time you cry you feel her pain
the regret will forever remain
your bab’s face imprisoned in you brain
did you ever think about how she was slain
you thought it would be easy to let go
like it never happened
the smile on her face
gone without a trace
o mother what have you done
