One less daughter
Is one less of a mess.
Unfelt tears of pain
And liquid stress.Smooth pathways are carved
And confusion disperses.
Kind words on the tongue
And no more violent curses.Sleep soundly in the night
And he won't fear the day.
For one less daughter means
No more games to play.The salt on her face
Is like the violent ocean
Choking and squeezing the life
And the continuous sin.One less daughter for you
Means one less problem for them.
Disappear into the walls
For nothingness is what she shall befriend.
