Leave Behind
Leave behind
The bottle, in my bathroom
Pills, pink and white
Begging for resolution
An empty bottle, my light
I leave this world
Alone
As my mother left me
Did you remember to forget
My tenth birthday
I leave this world
Safe
From the hands that always hit
The unmade bed, the dirty dishes
And garbage
Dad
I did forget
As I leave this world
I leave behind
The screaming, the drugs
Beatings and little hugs
The pills now gone
And so soon will be the pain
My breath is fading quickly
I hear God, faintly, cry in vain
As my soul gives way to death
I pray that God will see
Of all the things I leave behind
The most I miss is me
