mother's getting weaker

tonight would be the last night that we had our tea

that bloody tea

which sent us into ecstasy

yesterday mother complained

feeling dizzy

all in pain

mother's getting weaker

looking paler day by day

as morning came

she could not make it out of bed

and grandma's spell was getting straight into her head

not a single word

she didn't seem to be alive

getting weaker

looking paler day by day

then missy came in and she led me by the hand

i didn't want to go

oh but i should have known

mother was barely conscious

why should i care

just looking forward to the next ordeal

i think i heard my sister begging me to stay

she gave me the phone

so i could call someone for help

i simply let go of her hand

then i cut the wire

missy was crying as i left them both behind

and mother's getting weaker

missy shouted at my back

i hate you""
