*FROZEN DINNER*
Your tongue hardened with lies
Disdain thickened the vein in your eyes
Why do you look at me so?
why did you leave yesterday behind with your soul?
Intoxicants were your friends
And you never had time to spare
Mama! look at me...
I'm the mirror of what you never could be.
Why do you still linger?
Memories of you does nothing but triggers
Please... Go
Your ghost can't always be my shadow.
Her sins quaked my foundation
Yet I'm left feeling like a sinner
Another cold humid night...
Where do I get the strength
To warm up my frozen dinner?
