mommy always called for daddy;
by the grave, near the sea; 
always there, to see no end;
always there, by the weekend. 

Daddy died many years ago;
a mistake I desperately wish to undo;
now, as I'm slowly dying;
she's there, crying then laughing.

for the sake of the son she shot;
she cackled, "I hope you rot!"
for that was many years ago;
I made a mistake I cannot undo.

a cassette playing in my mind;
a memory driven in thine;
I shot daddy down;
laughed when he fell on the unforgivable ground.
