Description Mama's lost her mind.
Can't blame dad, he's gone.

The grave's a walkin', as she's a talkin',
To the stalkin' spirit of the dead.
She ain't bad, or at least she doesn't mean
The thoughts she thinks,
the tears she cries,
for what she's gona do.

Can't see but hear, can't know but feel:
tremors behind closed doors at night.
Mama, you gotta wake up,
Please

Dad used to hold her up,
when she'd slash herself down,
but he's gone now
so mama contemplates tomorrow,
her sorrow,
and mine.

Time tick-tocks and rots away her soul,
as she tries harder to cry,
with each lamenting second.
with every stroke she's broke,
and I go with her.

So I sleep when too tired to think,
and she sleeps when too troubled to think,
or so I thought.

Last night she couldn't sleep;
My innocence stole her slumber.
She crept in and i didn't hear
until she . . .
she . . .

SCREAMS!

Tonight I sleep at peace.
Rest at ease mama,
I'm forever happy
here in my grave.

The last half was better, probably. A lot easier to read. Overall, it's lovely though.

Show me a perfect poem and I'll show you the absence of art.

I love it, wonderfully deep
