Congratulations it's a boy
Buried underneath the afterbirth of joy
Sticks and stones will always break
His bones can barely take the weight
Of your breath breathing down his neck again
Keep it to yourself
You don't need to ask
Everything was golden
Memories will last
Kisses at bedtime never meant
A life that came to represent
Failings that she could not forget again
She could not forget
Breathing down his neck
She could not forget
The price you is never worth
The pain to suffer the abuse
Lie down and sleep
With all your ghosts again
Again, again and again
