The blood drips to the floor,
she slowly cries out in pain;
Once again the metal blade
causes her new shame.
It fiercely burns her tender flesh,
But still she cannot feel
What her heart has caused her
So this is how she deals.
And now her task is finally done,
She falls down to the floor.
Her mother’s scream awakens the town
As she opens up her daughter’s door.
She sees her baby lying there,
Her sobs lasting for what seems so long.
She drops to her knees beside the girl
And wonders where she went wrong.
She wonders why her daughter felt
She had to go this way, this time.
She wonders why she never got to say
"I love you," one last time.
