My Jeri-Lynne
written by burning_tears11:54 PM 3/14/05she gave me life, only for hers to go
she gave me love, only for mine in return
she filled me with hate, betrayal and sorrow
who can she be, but my mother
in august she passed, on the tenth
the day after my father was spent
i cried, almost thought it was a joke
a sick stupid joke, and i didnt think it was funny
no one was laughing, or smiling
the tears in their eyes just kept piling
i walked around when i learned
that her drug-filled life had turned
she was cremated within a week
now she is ashes in Panther Creek
where she and my father had lived
when they were married, before the 4 kids
sam, nikki. camille then me
we sa her 2 weeks before her deceasing
when i saw her, water filled my eyes
she had a hole in her throat
half her face was paralized
only liquids could be in her throat
she had a tube straight to her gut
she was about 92 pounds
it was scary to see her that thin
i thought i could see straight through her skin
my father loved her, and loves her now
hopefully she sees us from the clouds
and knows which mistakes she made
and how they made our lives change
i miss her now, and i always will
i'll think of her now and again
because i love her, my Jeri-Lynne |
