~ All For The Father ~
There she sat, in solitude again
Never in company of a single friend
Scratched her hand to her head
She wondered, if she was dying instead
What could this loneliness be felt,
and how do you describe what to her, quite so real...
Like stone, she dreaded she'd be tossed in the sea to drown
Not will she be missed, but never found
Like a ship filling with water to sink,
how do you fix a hole that leaks...
Feeling flush with thoughts of emptiness
Where does she pick up the pieces
to glue them tightly amiss...
None, will be the same emotion ever
happily once more...
For they found her dead, and washed
upon the shore
Yes, it did prey upon her mother, so dear
It caused lots of heartache, wonder and fear
Much sorrow would be for naught
For the father is what she sought
