Junior

love lost but tears remain
for my babies so dear
mummy is sorry
mummy's all to blame

for her insistence on perfection
for her failure to be ready
for her bad habits
for her impatience

the anticipation was great
but the will was weak
mummy has always been weak
daddy is the one who gives her strength

one sacrificed for our selfish futures
one taken away for our sins
mummy is sorry
mummy misses both of you
so bad

names were chosen
plans were made
hearts were ready
but minds were not

it was all too sudden
mummy couldn't handle it
she buckled
and fell from grace

now tears fall
as she trembles
writing proses of pain
of unwilling loss

given in to stupidity
handed your lives to selfishness
compromised a possible happiness
shattered the hearts of those around us

I wish to apologise
but nothing would ever bring you back
so tears still fall
meaningless yet comforting

to know that I did love you
in a way I never knew about
and so foolishness
robbed me of you

may your little hearts
be contented
knowing that we love you
never to forget

because etched in our hearts
are memories of your short-lived existence
eternally leaving a faint smile
within alll the pain

Rest in peace in the heavens above, my dears.
