IT WAS NIGHTS OF SWOLLEN EYED AND DYLOOTED TEAR DROPS

TIGHTLY HELD TOGETHER BY HER LOVE

SHE LAID BESIDE ME AS CLOUDS IN THE NIGHT WATCHED US AS IF THEY WERE OUR GUARDIAN ANGEL

THE CLOSER SHE HELD ME THE MORE HER LIFE WAS LIVED THROUGH ME

DARK DAYS SHE TRIED TO PUSH PAST SHE LETS HER LOVE FOR HER KIDS

BE HER REASSURANCE THAT CIGARETTES AND ALCOHOL ISNT HER ONLY TRUE LOVE

SEE WE LOVED THROUGH HOSPITAL BEDS AND GOWNS
SEE OUR LOVE LASTED LONGER THAN HER SEIZURES

OUR LOVE WAS SPREAD LIKE THE ALCOHOL THAT DESTROYED HER KIDNEYS

BUT SHE SMILED LIKE GOD HAD GIVEN HER A MILLION ROSES AND TOLD HER SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL

SHE LAUGHED SO THAT YOU COULDNT SEE THAT AT HOME IT FELT LIKE HELL

IT BURNED LIKE ACID AND IT HURT LIKE THE WORLD WAS POURING ACID ON HER OPEN WOMBS

BUT SHE LOVED MORE THAN ANY WOMAN I KNOW MADE SURE THE WORLD WAS AT OUR FEET MADE SURE WE TRUSTED HER
EVEN THOUGH OTHERS TOOK OUR INNOSENCE

SHE WAS MY HEART SO FOR HER EACH BEAT HAS ITS OWN RHYTHM BUT THEY WONT RECORD THIS ON THE RADIO

CAUSE THEY ARENT READY FOR THIS KIND OF TRUTH
THIS IS HONESTY THE ONE THAT CAUSES BAD DREAMS, AND TRAUMA

THE KINDS THAT CAUSES YOU TO SLEEP UNDER YOUR COVERS AT NIGHT

DAYS SHE SACRIFICED HER BODY FULL OF BRUISES AND LONG ARGUMENTS

PUSHING AND SHOVING BUT SHE KNEW SHE WOULD NEVER STOP LOVING US

SO NOW THIS CHAPTER IS OVER AND GOD HAS RESTORED HER HAPPINESS THAT LIVES INSIDE THIS 4'9 100lb BROWN SKIN GIRLS SMILE

THE CRAZY PART IS THE WORLD WILL NEVER BE READY FOR THIS KIND OF

TRUTH
