Analysis of Dear Matthew
I'm sorry I had to do what I did but just like you I was only a kid...
15 years old and a mother to be I thought it over and what did I see.
I was so scared and didn't know what to do...
No money no daddy to take care of you.
But now you are safe in the heavens above....
Please just know I did it for love.
